Before you start
- Create the mailbox in cPanel → Email → Email Accounts.
- Have the full address and password ready.
- In cPanel, open Connect Devices next to the address for exact hostnames and automatic setup scripts.
Recommended secure settings
- Incoming (IMAP): hostname from the welcome email or Connect Devices; 993; SSL/TLS.
- Outgoing (SMTP): same hostname; 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS); SSL/TLS.
- Username: full email address.
- Password: mailbox password.
Use IMAP so mail stays synced across phone and desktop. Prefer these secure ports; avoid plain 110/143/25 on modern networks.
In Outlook
- Add account → enter email → advanced/manual setup if Outlook does not auto-detect.
- Enter the IMAP and SMTP values above.
- Enable SMTP authentication (same username/password as incoming).
