Setting up your email client to work with your cPanel hosting email accounts is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through the steps to configure most email clients.
Before you begin, you'll need to gather some essential details:
Email Address and Password: You'll have set the password when you created the email account in cPanel. If you can't remember it, you'll need to reset it. We have a separate guide that details how to reset your email account password.
Incoming and Outgoing Server Details: You'll need to log in to your account's cPanel. From within the EMAIL section, click the Email Accounts icon. Within the email account management screen, click the Connect Devices button next to the email account you'd like to set up. You'll then see the remaining details you'll need: Incoming server (usually mail.yourdomain.co.uk), Outgoing server (usually mail.yourdomain.co.uk), IMAP Port: 993, POP3 Port: 995, and the SMTP port.
You can check that your username (email address) and password work easily by trying to log in to webmail for your domain. We have a separate guide that will walk you through this - How do I login to my webmail. If you can log in to webmail, then you can be sure your username and password are correct.
We have other guides on setting up specific mail clients, and we suggest you check to see whether we have a guide specific to your email client before following this guide. If we don't have a specific guide for the email client you're trying to use, you may need to consult their documentation or support to help you add your account.
