Quick Guide: Exchange ActiveSync, IMAP & Device Upgrade
Choose the right connection method for your phones, tablets, and computers. With Magnic 365 Exchange ActiveSync, email, calendars, and contacts sync in real time — while existing IMAP desktops continue working in parallel without interruption.
1. Microsoft Exchange (Magnic 365)
Select Microsoft Exchange (or Exchange and Office 365) on your phone, tablet, or Outlook. Enter your email address and password — email, Roundcube calendar, and contacts sync in real time.
- Account Type: Microsoft Exchange (or Exchange and Office 365)
- Server (if prompted): mail.magnic.com · Port 443 (SSL/TLS)
- Real-time Push sync: email, Roundcube calendar, and contacts
2. Switching from Old IMAP to Exchange
Switching from IMAP to Exchange is completely safe and requires no message migration, as both connect directly to the same server mailbox.
- Phone/Tablet: Remove the old IMAP account first before adding Exchange
- All messages and folders remain 100% intact on the server
- Desktop IMAP (Thunderbird / Mac Mail) works alongside mobile Exchange
3. Classic IMAP & SMTP
Standard server settings for desktop email clients (such as Thunderbird, Apple Mail, classic Outlook) and basic accounts without Exchange.
- Incoming (IMAP): mail.magnic.com · Port 993 (SSL/TLS)
- Outgoing (SMTP): mail.magnic.com · Port 465 (SSL/TLS) or 587 (STARTTLS)
- Username: Your full email address (e.g. name@company.fi)
4. External Web & DNS Autodiscover
If your website is hosted with Magnic, automatic Exchange sign-in works out of the box. For external websites or DNS, either enter the server manually or add Autodiscover DNS records.
- Manual server on mobile: enter mail.magnic.com in the Server field
- DNS CNAME record: autodiscover → autodiscover.ha.magnic.com
- DNS SRV record: _autodiscover._tcp → 0 0 443 autodiscover.ha.magnic.com
