GoDaddy Workspace SMTP Settings
Because GoDaddy offers SMTP, you are not required to use the webmail interface provided by GoDaddy: you can use alternative mail clients, such as Mailbird, Microsoft Outlook, or Mozilla Thunderbird, to monitor your messages and respond accordingly.
The following is a list of the SMTP settings for GoDaddy Workspace:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| SMTP Host: | smtpout.secureserver.net |
| SMTP Port: | 465 (SSL/TLS) or 587 |
| SMTP Username: | Your full email address (name@domain.com) |
| SMTP Password: | Your email account password |
GoDaddy Workspace Email Settings For Receiving Emails
IMAP keeps your mail in sync across all your devices, while POP downloads messages to one device. Here are the GoDaddy Workspace POP and IMAP settings:
GoDaddy Workspace POP Settings
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| POP3 Host: | pop.secureserver.net |
| POP3 Port: | 995 |
| Requires SSL: | Yes |
| POP3 Username: | Your full email address (name@domain.com) |
| POP3 Password: | Your email account password |
GoDaddy Workspace IMAP Settings
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| IMAP Host: | imap.secureserver.net |
| IMAP Port: | 993 |
| Requires SSL: | Yes |
| IMAP Username: | Your full email address (name@domain.com) |

Get Control Over GoDaddy Subscriptions and Spam
Managing email subscriptions manually takes forever. Clean Email makes it easier with its built-in Unsubscriber, which finds all your mailing list emails and lets you unsubscribe from them in bulk.
Even better, Clean Email will block senders after you unsubscribe so they don’t keep showing up in your inbox. That means your GoDaddy account stays cleaner longer.
For unknown or first-time senders, the Screener feature helps by holding their messages until you approve them. It’s a simple way to reduce spam and random cold emails without missing anything important.
And if you want to keep your inbox tidy without constantly checking it, use Auto Clean to automate what happens to messages once they arrive. Less work for you, better results.
By combining features like Screener, Auto Clean, and Unsubscriber, Clean Email provides a complete toolkit for long-term email health. It's especially great if you’re managing multiple domains or inboxes through GoDaddy, helping you stay in control without the overwhelm.
Additional Key Points to Remember
The settings above apply to Workspace Email only. GoDaddy has moved many mailboxes to Microsoft 365, and those accounts use outlook.office365.com for IMAP (port 993) or POP3 (port 995) and smtp.office365.com for SMTP (port 587, STARTTLS). If you’re not sure which plan you have, check the Email section of your GoDaddy account.
💡 Note: Your email plan does not support IMAP if you can only see a POP3 incoming server.
In this case, you may change the account type in your mail client or set up the account using IMAP to change your mail settings from POP to IMAP. Some clients, such as Apple Mail, Thunderbird, and Outlook, don’t let you change the account type, so you need to remove the account and add it again as IMAP using the servers above.
Switching from POP to IMAP doesn’t delete mail already downloaded to your computer, but messages that POP removed from the server won’t appear in your IMAP folders.
💡 Note: However, IMAP users should be aware that the folder names on GoDaddy's servers may not match those on the IMAP client they are configuring. For folders to sync correctly, you might need to map them. Check your mail app’s help pages for how to map folders.

POP vs. IMAP Email Servers: How To Choose
POP3 and IMAP are the two ways a mail app can receive messages from GoDaddy. SMTP handles sending in both cases.
In the early days of the internet, the Post Office Protocol (POP) was the most commonly used email protocol. POP downloads messages to one device and usually removes them from the server, so changes you make there don’t sync to your other devices.
On the other hand, the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) allows you to access your emails from several devices by storing them on the server. If you use IMAP instead of POP, you will always have access to your email on any device.
Regarding email, IMAP and POP are the two most popular options. POP may still be useful for those who do not always have access to a reliable internet connection. IMAP is the way to go if you frequently switch between a laptop, phone, and tablet during the day and are constantly connected to a reliable, fast network.
In the end, most email users choose IMAP above any other protocol.
