Set up my email in Outlook for Windows

If you use Outlook, you can easily import your domain email into your Outlook inbox using the Add Account feature. This allows you to check and manage emails from your Outlook account and domain email in one place, just like an email client. You can add multiple email accounts and manage them from your Outlook interface.

 

 

1. Set up your email in Outlook using IMAP

Getting started

Before you start, make sure you have these things ready:
• Outlook email application and account.
• Your domain email address.
• Email client configuration settings (you can find the configuration settings under Connect Devices, aligned with your domain email address in cPanel*)
* cPanel > Email Accounts > Connect Devices, aligned with your domain email address > Mail Client Manual Settings.

Setting up your domain email account in Outlook using IMAP:

Note: IMAP settings might be more convenient for checking email because all your messages are on the server. However, if not managed properly, they could lead to server resource usage problems in the long run.

1. Open and launch the Outlook email application. At the top right, ensure you are on the File tab to get the Account information.

2. Click on the Account Settings drop-down menu and click Account Settings.

3. In the middle right area, click New.

4. Enter your domain email address and ensure the Let me set up my account manually option is selected. Once done, click Connect.

Note: The email client will try to set up your account automatically. However, if the automatic installation is not working, you can manually configure it.

5. Choose and click IMAP from the selection.

6. Enter and make sure that the incoming and outgoing mail server and its corresponding Port Number settings are correct. To confirm the settings, please check and locate the Mail Client Manual Settings at cPanel. Once done, click Next to continue.

7. Enter your email account password in the field, then click Connect.

8. Wait for the setup to complete. Once the email connection is established, a confirmation page will be displayed, like the image below. Click Done to finish the setup.

2. Set up your email in Outlook using POP

Note: POP3 would reduce the server’s workload by storing your emails locally on your computer instead of on the server.

1. Open and launch the Outlook Email application. At the top right, ensure you are on the File tab to get the Account information.

2. Click on the Account Settings drop-down menu and click Account Settings.

3. At the top right, click New.

4. Enter your domain email address and ensure the Let me set up my account manually option is selected. Once done, click Connect.

5. Click POP.

6. Enter the password for your domain email address and click Connect.

7. If you wish to add another domain email address, enter it and ensure the Let me set up my account manually option is selected before clicking Next. Otherwise, click Done.

8. When redirected back to your Account Settings page, click on your domain email address, which has been successfully added.

9. Enter the password for your domain email address and click Connect.

10. Fill in the details accordingly (Server and Port), and ensure you enter the correct mail server and port information. Once done, click Next.

Done! You can now use Outlook to send messages using your custom domain email address.
