Kinetic Servers Email Hosting — POP3 Settings for mx1

By Sujit Manke Updated 7 min read

Quick answer

Kinetic Servers email on mx1.precisionservers.in is a POP3 mailbox: it is for downloading mail to your computer, not for storing mail online. Incoming: host mx1.precisionservers.in, type POP3, port 995 with SSL. Outgoing: the same host, type SMTP, port 465 with SSL, and My outgoing server requires authentication must be ticked. Username is your full email address. Do not send bulk or newsletter mail from this account — that can blacklist your domain.

Step-by-step

  1. Open your mail program’s account settings. In Outlook: File → Account Settings → Account Settings → New (or change an existing account). In other programs, open Accounts / Mail accounts and add a new account. Choose manual setup if the wizard guesses IMAP.
  2. Choose POP3 — not IMAP. This product is POP3 only. If the client offers IMAP, do not use it for Kinetic Servers mail. POP3 downloads messages to this device. The server is not an online filing cabinet.
  3. Enter the incoming (POP3) server. Incoming hostname: mx1.precisionservers.in. Type: POP3. Port: 995. Encryption: SSL/TLS (sometimes labelled “SSL”). Username: your full email address.
  4. Enter the outgoing (SMTP) server. Outgoing hostname: mx1.precisionservers.in. Type: SMTP. Port: 465. Encryption: SSL. Tick My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication and use the same username and password as incoming.
  5. Test send and receive, then keep a local backup. Send a test message to another address and confirm new mail arrives. Because this service does not keep your mail on the server, the copy that matters is on your PC (Outlook .pst / the local mail store). Back that up.

What Kinetic Servers email is (and is not)

Kinetic Servers is PrecisionTech’s POP3 email hosting on the mail host mx1.precisionservers.in. It is built for businesses that collect mail into Outlook (or another desktop client) on a computer they control.

Three product rules, stated plainly:

  • Primarily POP3. Incoming mail is pulled down to your device. This is not an IMAP / “leave everything in the cloud” mailbox.
  • Not for storage online. Do not treat mx1 as a filing cabinet, a second hard disk, or a shared team inbox in the browser.
  • The server does not retain your mailbox data as an archive. After download, the copy you can search, print and back up is the one on your PC.

If several people must read the same mailbox on phones and laptops, or you need webmail history, say so when you talk to us — that requirement belongs on a cloud collaboration suite, not on this POP3 product.

Official settings (copy these exactly)

Use these values in Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail and similar. Do not substitute mail.yourdomain.com unless we have given you a different host in writing for that domain.

ItemValue
Incoming hostname / server namemx1.precisionservers.in
Incoming typePOP3
Incoming port / encryption995 / SSL

Outgoing port / encryption465 / SSL
Outgoing authenticationRequired — tick “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication”
UsernameYour full email address (for example accounts@yourcompany.in)
PasswordThe mailbox password we issued (no trailing space)

In Outlook the outgoing-auth checkbox is under More Settings → Outgoing Server. Use the same logon as the incoming POP3 account (not “log on using” a different user unless we told you to).

Outlook-specific notes

Microsoft Outlook on Windows still offers POP3. When the New Account wizard tries IMAP or Microsoft 365, cancel that path and choose manual / POP.

  • Account type must read POP/POP3, not IMAP and not Exchange.
  • Encryption for both 995 and 465 is SSL/TLS. “None” or plain 110/25 will fail or is unsafe.
  • After the first successful download, Outlook stores mail in a local .pst (or the profile’s data file). That file is your mailbox for this product. Include it in Windows Backup / your backup software.

A separate guide covers Outlook for Mac with IMAP for other mailboxes that are actually IMAP. Do not copy those IMAP ports (993 / 587) onto a Kinetic Servers account.

Why POP3, and what that means day to day

POP3 was designed to collect mail: connect, download, then work offline. That matches this hosting: small server footprint, mail lives with you.

Practical consequences you should plan for:

  • One primary computer. The first PC that downloads a message typically has the only copy. A second laptop will not magically show last year’s Inbox.
  • Phones are a poor fit for this product. A phone that “eats” mail via POP can empty what the office PC would have received. If you need the phone, use a cloud mailbox product instead.
  • Deleting in Outlook deletes your copy. There is no server recycle bin waiting for you.
  • Disk failure = mail loss unless the local store was backed up. Kinetic Servers email is not a backup service.

Never send bulk mail from this account

Do not use Kinetic Servers / mx1 mailboxes to send newsletters, promotional blasts, scraped lists, or “just this once” campaigns to hundreds of addresses.

Shared mail hosts protect every customer on the same IP reputation. One bulk send that trips spam traps can blacklist your domain (and hurt neighbours). Ordinary invoices and replies then bounce from Gmail, banks and government inboxes — restoring that takes days and is not guaranteed.

Legitimate one-to-one business mail (replies, invoices, a handful of colleagues) is what this SMTP is for. Volume campaigns belong on a dedicated newsletter stack: PrecisionTech email newsletter service.

If send or receive fails

SymptomCheck this first
Cannot receiveIncoming host mx1.precisionservers.in, POP3, 995 SSL, full email as username, password without spaces.
Cannot sendOutgoing same host, SMTP 465 SSL, authentication ticked, same full address and password.
Timeout / “server not found”DNS or a firewall/ISP blocking 995/465. Test from another network (mobile hotspot). Office proxies often block mail ports.
Certificate warningThe host name in the account must be exactly mx1.precisionservers.in. A homemade host name will not match the certificate.
Sends to spamStop any bulk. Confirm you are not blasting Bcc lists. Domain reputation is separate from “the password works”.

If you actually need mail stored online

Say so clearly. Kinetic Servers POP3 will not grow into Gmail-style search across devices. For that, discuss Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 with our team via the contact page. Consulting and mailbox moves are paid and scoped — not a free walkthrough on this page.

Frequently Asked Questions

1 Is Kinetic Servers email IMAP or POP3?

This product is POP3. Incoming mail is downloaded to your mail program. It is not designed for online storage, multi-device sync, or a server-side archive. If you need mail kept in the cloud and synced across phone, tablet and webmail, that is a different product (for example Google Workspace or Microsoft 365) — ask us to scope it; it is not this mailbox.

2 Why can I not see old mail on another computer or on webmail?

By design, Kinetic Servers email on mx1 does not retain mailbox data on the server for you to re-open later. After POP3 download, the working copy is on the device that collected it. A second PC, a phone, or webmail will not show that history. Plan backups of the local store (Outlook .pst or equivalent).

3 What are the exact server names and ports?

Incoming: hostname mx1.precisionservers.in, POP3, port 995, SSL. Outgoing: hostname mx1.precisionservers.in, SMTP, port 465, SSL. Tick My outgoing server requires authentication. Username is the full email address. Do not use unencrypted ports 110 or 25 for this setup.

4 What happens if I forget to tick “outgoing server requires authentication”?

You will usually receive mail but cannot send. The server will reject unauthenticated SMTP. Turn the option on, use the same full email address and password as POP3, keep port 465 with SSL, then retry.

5 Can I send newsletters or bulk mail from this mailbox?

No. Never use Kinetic Servers / mx1 mailboxes for bulk, marketing blasts, or scraped lists. That pattern gets your domain blacklisted, which then blocks ordinary business mail to customers and banks. Campaigns belong on a proper newsletter platform — see our email newsletter service.

6 Should I tick “leave a copy of messages on the server”?

Do not rely on it. This service is not an online store. Even if a client offers “leave a copy”, treat the PC copy as the only copy that matters, and back it up. Kinetic Servers email is not a substitute for IMAP cloud mail or a backup product.

7 Support hours if setup still fails?

Email support@precisiontech.in with the exact error text, a screenshot of the account settings (hide the password), and whether send, receive, or both fail. Hours: 11 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri (excl. holidays). How to write a useful ticket: Support Guidelines.
