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.

  1. Domain name – example.com
  2. Your email address – admin@example.com
  3. Your email password
  4. 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.

Microsoft Outlook 2019

1. Open Microsoft Outlook 2019

When a window pops up, enter your email address, then click Continue. If you are trying to add an additional account, click add account.

2. Choose IMAP/POP

Select IMAP/POP, when given the option to choose your provider. This will allow you to set up your outgoing mail server and incoming mail server.

3. Configure Your IMAP or POP Settings

Whether you choose POP or IMAP, fill in the corresponding details as can be seen below. Then, click Add Account to proceed. If you don’t know which one to choose, check out this article on POP and IMAP.

4. Finalize Your Setup

Fill in your email address’ password, click Connect, and wait for the process to finish. If you succeed, a new window will appear.

Click the Done button and you can start using Outlook for your email account right away.

How to create/check existing email forwarders on cPanel?

To create and check an email forwarder or redirection through cPanel you need to access the panel and go to Forwarders under Email.

There you will see already created email forwarders and will also be able to create a new one by selecting Add Forwarder.

 

Once you click it you will be redirected to a new screen where you will fill out the necessary information such as email address to be forwarded and the destination email address.

Afterwards go to Add Forwarder

Once done – the newly added forwarder will be shown in the Forwarders page.

 

cPanel Email Attachment Size Limit

Email Attachment Size Limit

Technically, our Shared servers have a 50 MB limit on the size of outgoing e-mails (which includes the email body and attachments) sent via webmail but, in reality, there are a number of factors that determine how large of a file attachment you may successfully send. These factors include:

  • The fact that your attachment is MIME encoded, which causes the size to swell up to 40%.  So a 35 MB file on your hard drive will take up approx. 50 MB of space when MIME encoded for sending as an attachment. A 23 MB file on your hard drive will take up approx. 30 MB when MIME encoded.
  • Any limits your email client has on attachments, which may vary from email client to email client (for example, iManila Webmail’s limit is 50 MB, while Outlook 2010’s limit is 20 MB).
  • Any limits the recipient’s server has on email attachment size, which also vary from email service provider to email service provider (for example, Gmail, Yahoo! & Hotmail all have a 25 MB limit).
  • Any limits the recipient’s email client may have on attachment size.
  • The amount of free space available in the recipient’s e-mail account, if their mailbox has a size limit. (If their mailbox is full, your message will be rejected.)
  • How reliable your internal service provider (ISP) is at sending large files without corrupting them or aborting.

As you can see, there are many factors that can affect how large an attachment can be.  You may even encounter situations where you send an identical attachment to two people, and one receives it, and the other does not.  That is usually caused by one recipient’s server rejecting the attachment for being too large, and the other one accepting it.

If you need to share large files with your recipient, we recommend that you upload the file(s) to any other file sharing service first like Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox. Then, you can email your recipient the link (URL) where they can access/download the file(s). This allows you to share all sizes of files without clogging up inboxes or running into size limits.
