      Here is what I can find to help:

      @lantic Email Server Settings

      • Username: Your full @lantic email address.
      • Password: Your @lantic email password.
      • Incoming Mail Server: mail.lantic.net (or pop.lantic.net).
      • Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.lantic.net.
      • SMTP Port: 587 (preferred) or 25.
      • Encryption/SSL: Generally none (or try SSL/TLS if connection fails).

      Android Setup Steps

      1. Open the email application and select Add Account.
      2. Choose Other or Manual Setup.
      3. Enter your email address and password, then select IMAP (recommended) or POP3.
      4. Enter the server settings listed above.
      5. Ensure Require Sign-in is checked for the outgoing server.

      iPhone/iPad Setup Steps

      1. Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts > Add Account.
      2. Select Other > Add Mail Account.
      3. Enter your Name, Email, and Password, then tap Next.
      4. Ensure IMAP or POP is selected, then fill in the Incoming and Outgoing mail server details.
      5. Tap Next and then Save.

      Note: If these settings do not work, some @lantic mailboxes are hosted on older systems, and you may need to use incoming.lantic.net or contact Vox/Lantic support for specific DNS information.

      Hi Rodney

      Thank you for your question, I’m happy to help.

      I don’t have those on-hand. I’ve reached out to the fredd.co.za support and am awaiting feedback. Once I have that I’ll update our SMTP settings and send you the link.

        Update: Rodney I’ve tried calling FREDD numerous times and sent three emails to FREDD support with no response. If you can provide alternate contact details I’m happy to pursue those to get updated details for FREDD to add here?
