How to Configure Email on Microsoft Outlook

Why Use Outlook for Email?

Microsoft Outlook allows you to send and receive emails from your hosting account using a familiar desktop or mobile interface. It supports both IMAP (recommended) and POP3 protocols.

 Steps to Configure Email in Outlook

  1. Open Outlook

    • Launch Microsoft Outlook on your computer

  2. Add a New Account

    • Click File → Add Account

  3. Enter Your Email Address

    • Type your full email address (e.g., name@yourdomain.com)

    • Click Connect

  4. Choose Account Type

    • Select IMAP (recommended for syncing across devices)

  5. Enter Mail Server Settings

    • Incoming Mail (IMAP):

      • Server: mail.yourdomain.com

      • Port: 993

      • Encryption: SSL/TLS

    • Outgoing Mail (SMTP):

      • Server: mail.yourdomain.com

      • Port: 465 or 587

      • Encryption: SSL/TLS

  6. Enter Username & Password

    • Username: Your full email address

    • Password: The password you created for the email account

  7. Finish Setup

 Tips

  • Always use IMAP instead of POP3 if you want emails synced on multiple devices (phone, laptop, webmail).

  • If Outlook cannot connect, check your firewall or antivirus settings.

  • Make sure SSL/TLS is enabled for better security.
