Terra is a Brazilian internet portal whose Terra Mail service still hosts a large base of @terra.com.br addresses. Terra Mail works with any IMAP or POP3 mail client, and Terra publishes the settings both in its help pages and in an automatic configuration file that Thunderbird and other clients read on their own. To connect Terra Mail to Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail or a phone, use the values below.
Many Terra help articles date from the Outlook 2003 to 2007 era and mention unencrypted ports (110, 143), a username without @terra.com.br, or regional server names such as imap.sao.terra.com.br. Use the current values below: encrypted ports, full email address as the username. If the old setup still works but warns about security, switch it to the settings on this page. Reference: SMTP 550 5.7.1 guide.
Quick Reference: Terra.com.br Server Settings
Values from Terra’s official autoconfiguration file and its Outlook setup guide. Username: your full email address.
| Protocol | Server | Port | Encryption | Authentication |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IMAP (incoming, recommended) | imap.terra.com.br | 993 (or 143) | SSL/TLS (or STARTTLS on 143) | Full email + password |
| SMTP (outgoing) | smtp.terra.com.br | 587 (or 465) | STARTTLS (or SSL/TLS on 465) | Full email + password |
| POP3 (incoming, single device) | pop.terra.com.br | 995 (or 110) | SSL/TLS (or STARTTLS on 110) | Full email + password |
Terra.com.br SMTP Settings (Sending Mail)
The outgoing server is smtp.terra.com.br. Terra’s current Outlook guide uses port 587 with STARTTLS; its autoconfiguration file also offers port 465 with SSL/TLS. Authentication is required, with your full @terra.com.br address and your Terra password. Older Terra tutorials asked users to change the SMTP port from 25 to 587; port 25 is no longer the right choice for a mail client.
Terra does not publish a daily sending limit. Use Terra Mail for personal mail; newsletters and bulk sending need a dedicated email service.
Terra.com.br IMAP Settings (Recommended for Reading)
IMAP keeps folders and read status in sync between your devices and webmail. Use imap.terra.com.br on port 993 with SSL/TLS; port 143 with STARTTLS is the alternative listed in Terra’s autoconfiguration file. Some old Terra articles described IMAP as available only on the paid Terra Mail Gigante plan; if IMAP login is refused while webmail works, check your plan with Terra support.
Terra.com.br POP3 Settings (Single-Device Access)
POP3 downloads mail to one device. Use pop.terra.com.br on port 995 with SSL/TLS (or 110 with STARTTLS). Terra’s own guides recommend ticking “Leave a copy of messages on the server” if you want mail to stay available in webmail and on other devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Terra webmail?
At mail.terra.com.br. Log in with your Terra email address and password. Account settings, forwarding and filters are managed there.
Should I use my full address or just my username?
Use the full address (name@terra.com.br). Terra’s current autoconfiguration file uses the full email address for IMAP, POP3 and SMTP; the username without @terra.com.br only appears in old tutorials.
Which SMTP port should I choose, 587 or 465?
Either works. Terra’s Outlook guide uses 587 with STARTTLS; 465 with SSL/TLS is the alternative. If one is blocked by your network, try the other.
Can I set up Terra Mail automatically?
Yes in clients that read autoconfiguration files, such as Thunderbird: enter your address and password and the client fills in the servers from Terra’s published file. In Outlook, Apple Mail or Android, enter the values from the table above if detection fails.
Does Terra Mail support OAuth2?
Terra’s autoconfiguration lists only normal password authentication. Choose normal password in your mail client.
About This Guide
