SFR Mail: Regain Control of a Crowded French Inbox
SFR Mail is common across France, but its inbox can quickly fill with marketing emails and account alerts. Clean Email makes it easier with Auto Clean, helping you schedule deletions or archiving rules for recurring messages.
Screener gives you control over who gets through, holding back unknown senders until you approve them. Great for keeping unwanted advertising at bay.
You can also use Group by Sender to mass-delete messages from vendors, forums, or travel agencies—perfect for cutting through the clutter.
Clean Email supports French-language accounts and gives SFR users a real upgrade in how they interact with their inbox. It’s efficient, respectful of your time, and available on mobile too.
Useful Information to Remember
💡 Note: SFR Webmail no longer supports SSL and TLS 1.0 and 1.1 protocols. Users of SFR email clients should modify their connection settings to TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 protocols.
SFR recommends always using encrypted versions of the SMTP, POP, and IMAP protocols with the construction of household or public WiFi networks to ensure the secrecy of your communications and limit the chance of your email password getting stolen.
In the configuration indicated below on this page, the encrypted version (SSL/TLS) is thus systematically offered to ensure the confidentiality of your messages.
Be informed that whether you use SFR Webmail or the SFR Mail mobile application, they automatically use encrypted protocols to enhance the security of your communications and data.
It has also agreed to abide by the Charter for Email Security, which guarantees the confidentiality of email communications. Sending messages between SFR messaging platforms and other platforms belonging to the charter is done via encryption.

POP3 vs. IMAP: What's The Difference
Using POP or IMAP, you can retrieve your emails from an email server and read it on your device. There are, however, a few key differences between the two:
- The POP protocol only allows you to download messages from your Inbox to a computer on your network to keep things simple. You can see all of the folders on the mail server with IMAP, which is a much more complex protocol.
- In POP3, only one device can access the mail at a time. Contrarily, multiple devices can access IMAP messages at once.
- On a POP3 server, the user cannot create, delete, or alter emails. On the other hand, it is possible to create, delete, or rename a message on the mail server using IMAP.
Finally, if you plan on accessing your mailbox from several devices, such as a work computer and a smartphone, IMAP is the preferable option. If you only have one device and many emails, POP3 is the way to go. Ultimately, IMAP is more likely to meet the demands of the majority of individuals in today's environment.
