To send email through SendGrid, set your outgoing (SMTP) server to smtp.sendgrid.net and use port 587 (STARTTLS) or 465 (SSL/TLS). STARTTLS on 587/2525/25 or SSL/TLS on 465.
SendGrid is a send-only relay, so there's no IMAP or POP3 inbox — you only configure the SMTP server above. Use the tool to copy each value into your app or script.
Set by your SendGrid plan. Use the literal username "apikey" and paste your SendGrid API key as the password. Create an API key under Settings > API Keys with Mail Send permission.
Those caps make single-mailbox sending fine for personal mail but a poor fit for cold outreach at volume. Emailchaser spreads sending across warmed inboxes and manages deliverability, so you can scale without burning SendGrid accounts.
What are SendGrid's SMTP settings?
SendGrid's outgoing (SMTP) server is smtp.sendgrid.net. Use port 587 (STARTTLS) or 465 (SSL/TLS). STARTTLS on 587/2525/25 or SSL/TLS on 465. Sign in with your full email address and password (or app password).
What is SendGrid's IMAP or POP3 server?
SendGrid is a send-only service, so it has no IMAP or POP3 inbox — you configure it as an outgoing SMTP server only.
Which port should I use for SendGrid?
Use port 587 with STARTTLS wherever it's offered — it's the modern standard for authenticated sending. Port 465 with SSL/TLS is a solid alternative. Avoid port 25, which most networks block for client sending. SendGrid's recommended value is above.
Why won't my SendGrid SMTP connection work?
Check authentication first: Use the literal username "apikey" and paste your SendGrid API key as the password. Create an API key under Settings > API Keys with Mail Send permission. Then confirm the host, port and security method match exactly — a 587/SSL or 465/STARTTLS mismatch will fail to connect.
Can I send bulk or cold email through SendGrid?
Not at scale. Set by your SendGrid plan. Providers throttle bursts to fight spam, so pushing cold email through one mailbox hits limits and wrecks deliverability. High-volume outreach belongs on dedicated infrastructure that spreads sending across warmed inboxes — which is what Emailchaser does.
