Welcome to your Chello Mail guide. For years, Chello Mail served many as a trusted email service. If you're an existing user, it's important to know that Chello Mail has evolved. It is now a legacy email alias fully integrated into the Magenta Telekom infrastructure, following the merger of UPC Austria with T-Mobile Austria. This means your `[email protected]` or `[email protected]` email address still works, but its operations and management are handled by Magenta Telekom. This guide will help you seamlessly manage your digital correspondence. We'll cover everything from how to log in to understanding your email settings and resolving any access issues. All services, including your webmail and account management, are now accessible through the Mein Magenta digital portal, ensuring a streamlined experience.
Preparing for Your Chello Mail Experience
- You need your full Chello Mail email address (e.g., `[email protected]` or `[email protected]`) to identify your account.
- Your current password is required for accessing your webmail and online account management. This password is set and managed through the Mein Magenta customer portal.
Entering Your Chello Mail Digital Hub
- To access your Chello Mail inbox, navigate your web browser to the official Magenta webmail interface: webmail.mymagenta.at.
- On the login page, enter your complete Chello Mail email address (e.g., `[email protected]`) in the field provided for your Username.
- Next, type your associated password, which you manage via the Mein Magenta customer portal, into the Password field.
- Finally, click the Login button to enter your digital message center.
Navigating Your Chello Mail Communication Suite
- Webmail Access: Utilize the OX App Suite interface via webmail.mymagenta.at for managing your emails directly from any web browser.
- Mail Client Configuration: Integrate your Chello Mail account with your preferred email applications (like Outlook, Thunderbird, or Apple Mail) using the current Magenta Telekom server settings. Both incoming (IMAP/POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) mail now use mail.mymagenta.at.
- Secure Server Connections: Benefit from secure connections using SSL/TLS for both sending and receiving emails. Recommended ports include IMAP 993 (SSL), POP3 995 (SSL), and SMTP 587 (STARTTLS) or 465 (SSL).
- Legacy Domain Support: Your original `chello.at` or `inode.at` email address continues to function as a valid and persistent email domain, maintained by Magenta Telekom for existing subscribers.
When Your Chello Mail Needs a Helping Hand
⚠️ Unable to connect to Chello Mail in a desktop or mobile application
Cause: Using outdated server hostnames for Chello Mail, which are no longer authoritative. The service migrated to Magenta Telekom infrastructure.
Solution: We know being unable to connect is stressful. The fastest fix is to update your mail client settings. Replace old hostnames like `pop3.chello.at` or `smtp.chello.at` with mail.mymagenta.at for both your incoming (IMAP/POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) mail servers. Remember that only the port numbers will change, not the server name itself.
⚠️ Authentication (login) fails with my Chello Mail password
Cause: Your password might be incorrect, or it was reset during the migration from UPC to Magenta Telekom.
Solution: If your login details are rejected, ensure you are using the password most recently set through the Mein Magenta customer portal. Passwords for legacy Chello accounts are managed within this Magenta online account management dashboard. You may need to visit magenta.at/mein-magenta to reset or verify your current password.
⚠️ Cannot access webmail via old UPC/Chello webmail links
Cause: The previous webmail domains (e.g., `webmail.upc.at`, `webmail.chello.at`) redirect, and sometimes these redirects can fail or be intermittent.
Solution: To ensure direct access to your webmail, always use the current official URL: webmail.mymagenta.at. It's a good idea to bookmark this link to avoid potential issues with outdated redirects.
Securing Your Chello Mail Identity
- 🔒 Always manage your Chello Mail password directly through the secure Mein Magenta customer portal at magenta.at/mein-magenta.
- 🔒 Use strong, unique passwords for your email account to protect your digital identity.

- 🔒 Be cautious of phishing attempts. Magenta Telekom will never ask for your password via email or unofficial channels. Always verify the sender and the link before clicking.
- 🔒 Keep your operating system and email client software updated to benefit from the latest security patches.
