Parallex Mail Back to inbox

Connect your email to Outlook and your phone

Ten minutes, once. After this your mail arrives on your computer and your phone by itself. You do not need to know what any of these words mean — just copy what is on this page into the boxes the app asks for.

Read this first: one account, two addresses

Almost every failed setup starts by getting this wrong.

You have one mailbox. It has one password. Some of you also have a second address that points at that same mailbox — mail sent to it simply drops into the same inbox.

sai@doozi.in forwards in
lands in
sai@parallex.in
the one real account — this is what you add to Outlook

Worked example. Sai adds one account to Outlook: sai@parallex.in with his password. A client emails sai@doozi.in — it appears in that same inbox, no second setup. When Sai wants to reply as Doozi, he clicks the From box above the message and picks sai@doozi.in. Same for Thanmay with thanmay@doozi.in.

Do not add the doozi.in address as its own account. It has no password of its own, so every app will keep telling you the password is wrong. There is nothing to fix — it is not a login, it is a signpost.

Your settings

Every value has a copy button. Copy, paste, next.

Who you are
Username your full email address

Always the whole address including the @ part — never just the first word.

Password

Optional convenience: type it once here and the button re-copies it for each box the app asks for. It stays in this browser tab and is never sent anywhere. Close the tab and it is gone.

Receiving mail (they may call it IMAP or Incoming)
Server mail.parallex.in
Port 993
Security SSL/TLS

Some apps word this as SSL, TLS, or “encrypted connection”. Any of those is the right pick. Never “None”.

Sending mail (they may call it SMTP or Outgoing)
Server mail.parallex.in

Yes — the same address as the receiving server. That is correct, not a typo.

Port 465

If an app refuses 465, use 587 with STARTTLS instead — that works too.

Security SSL/TLS
Sign-in required Yes — same username and password

Look for a tick box worded “My outgoing server requires authentication” and turn it on. Leaving it off is the reason mail arrives but nothing will send.

Step by step, per app

Pick the one you actually use. Highlighted steps are the ones people skip.

Outlook on Windows or Mac

The single most common failure. In 2026 Outlook stopped finding these settings on its own. If you type your address and press Continue, it will think for a while and then say it cannot find the settings. That is expected. You have to choose manual or advanced setup and pick IMAP yourself — the steps below do that.

  1. Open Outlook. Go to Settings (gear icon) → Accounts → Email accounts → Add account. In older Outlook it is File → Add Account.
  2. Type your address — the @parallex.in one. Nothing else on this screen.
  3. Do not press Continue and wait. Click Advanced options / Advanced setup / Let me set up my account manually — the wording differs by version, but there is always one. Then choose IMAP from the list of account types.
  4. Incoming mail: server mail.parallex.in, port 993, encryption SSL/TLS.
  5. Outgoing mail: server mail.parallex.in, port 465, encryption SSL/TLS.
  6. Find My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication and turn it on, set to use the same settings as my incoming mail server. If you skip this, mail arrives but nothing you write will ever leave.
  7. Wherever it asks for a user name, put the full address — sai@parallex.in, not sai. It may ask twice, once for incoming and once for outgoing. Full address both times.
  8. Enter your password and finish. The first sync can take a few minutes on a big mailbox — let it run.
  9. To send as your Doozi address: open a new message, turn on the From field (Options → From, on Mac it is in the toolbar), then choose Other email address and type sai@doozi.in. Outlook remembers it after the first time.

If Outlook keeps re-asking for your password in a loop, the user name almost certainly lost its @domain part. Open the account settings and check both boxes again.

When it does not work

Five things cause almost every failure. Work down the list.

It keeps saying my password is wrong

Nine times out of ten the password is fine and the user name is short. Mail apps want the whole address, not the name in front of the @.

wrongsai
rightsai@parallex.in

Check it in both places — incoming and outgoing each have their own user name box, and apps love to fill one of them in for you incorrectly.

Mail arrives, but nothing I send goes out

The outgoing server is not signing in. Open your account settings, find the outgoing / SMTP section and turn on “My outgoing server requires authentication”, set to use the same user name and password as incoming.

On iPhone this is the box iOS labels Optional under Outgoing Mail Server. Fill it in anyway.

Outlook says it cannot find the settings for my account

Correct, and not a problem with your account. Outlook removed the automatic lookup for this kind of mailbox in 2026 — it will never find them. Start the add-account flow again and choose Advanced options → Let me set up my account manually → IMAP, then type the servers in by hand.

It hangs, times out, or says the server did not respond

Almost always a port number the app filled in for you. The numbers must be:

in 993   SSL/TLS
out465   SSL/TLS  (or 587 with STARTTLS)
not143, 25, or security set to None

Also worth one try: some hotel, office and mobile networks block port 465. Switch to 587 with STARTTLS, or test on a different network before assuming the account is broken.

My doozi.in address will not log in

It never will, and it does not need to. sai@doozi.in is a forwarding address, not an account — there is no password behind it. Delete the half-made account, add only the @parallex.in one, and the Doozi mail will already be sitting in that inbox.

To send from the Doozi address, pick it in the From box when writing a message. Your app tab above says where that lives.

Still stuck

Remove the account from the app completely and start again from step one — a half-finished account remembers its bad settings and will keep failing even after you fix them. Then write to support@parallex.in from this webmail, and say which app you are on and which step stopped you.
