Settings for your Email Client

The following settings should be used for your email clients. This includes MS Outlook, Outlook Express, Opera, Thunderbird, etc.

1. Default Email Account

Each hosting account has a pop3 email account setup automatically by default on creation. This email account is in the format of username@domain.com and the settings to use in your email program (eg Microsoft Outlook) are as follows:

Incoming mail(POP3): mail.domain.com
Outgoing mail (SMTP): mail.domain.com
Account name: main account username
Password: main account password

In the above settings, your username and password can be found in your welcome email. Also, replace ‘domain.com’ with your actual domain name.

2. Additional Email Accounts

If you have the option of more than one email account with your package you may setup additional email accounts from your cPanel. The settings to use in your email program when accessing these are slightly different and are shown below:

Incoming mail(POP3): mail.domain.com
Outgoing mail (SMTP): mail.domain.com
Account name: email@domain.com
Password: email account password

You should substitute ‘domain.com’ with your actual domain name. ‘email@domain.com’ should be substituted with the full email address you have setup and the password should be the password you entered when setting up the additional account (not your main hosting account password).
