Mailbox setup
- In your account, click “Create mailbox”.
- Add the Telegram bot
@emtgtop_botto a group, channel, or open a private chat with the bot - depending on where you want to receive incoming emails. - Send the message
/infoin that chat. - The bot will reply with a Chat ID. Copy it and paste it into the “Telegram Chat ID” field on the mailbox creation page.
- Link your Telegram account to send outgoing emails from your mailbox. To do this, open your account settings in the Dashboard, click “Create linking token”, and follow the instructions that appear after the token is created.
Send mail via SMTP
- SMTP host:
mx1.emtg.top - Port: 465 (SMTPS), 587 (STARTTLS only), or 2525 (legacy plain, no STARTTLS)
- Login: full mailbox address, for example
name@emtg.top - Password: mailbox SMTP password shown in dashboard (separate password per mailbox).
Sender address must match the authenticated mailbox. On port 587, TLS is mandatory (issue STARTTLS first). Port 2525 is for old devices that cannot do modern TLS. Port 25 remains inbound MX for receiving mail to @emtg.top. Outbound mail is DKIM-signed when DKIM is enabled in server config.
Send mail via Telegram
Only users with linked Telegram account can send email commands.
Reply to an incoming email
- Find the notification about an incoming email from
@emtgtop_bot. - Tap "Reply" on that notification, then send:
