How to Set Up Outlook to use your cPanel Email Account
Overview
Microsoft Outlook is a 3rd party email client software that you can use to connect and manage your cPanel Email Account. It is mainly used for receiving, sending, and storing emails. However, it has plenty of other functions such as calendar, tasks, contacts, and many more. It is important to understand that while Outlook and other email clients can be used to connect your cPanel email, we do not support all of its functionalities and behavior. Read more here.
Prerequisites
There are a few things that you must prepare before you start configuring the email client.
- Domain name – example.com
- Your email address – admin@example.com
- Your email password
- IMAP/POP and SMTP configuration. Get your email client configurations here.
Assuming you already have a domain and created an email, you must already have the first three prerequisites mentioned. However, to access your email through an email client, you must have the details of incoming (IMAP/POP) and outgoing (SMTP) servers.
