IMAP Port: 993 (SSL) , or 143 (non-SSL)
or
Incoming Mail via POP3 (email contents downloaded to your desktop, suitable for fixed location users, e.g. office user)
POP3 Server : yourdomain-com.login.hk (for SSL) , or mail.yourdomain.com (for non-SSL)
POP3 Port: 995 (SSL) , or 110 (non-SSL)

——

Outgoing Mail SMTP
SMTP Server : yourdomain-com.login.hk (for SSL) , or mail.yourdomain.com (for non-SSL)
SMTP Port: 465 (SSL), or 587 (plain-text or STARTTLS)

——

SSL, TLS are encrypted connections
STARTTLS is Opportunistic TLS encrypted connection (if supported TLS encrypted connection, then use TLS.  Otherwise, use plain-text connection)
Plain-text is standard (non-encrypted) connection

(By default, iOS will use IMAP (with TLS 993) and SMTP (with TLS 587))
