You can set up e-mail client software like Microsoft Office Outlook, for viewing your e-mails on your local computer, composing and sending new mails etc.

 

In this tutorial we will show you how to set up your e-mail account with Microsoft Outlook, which you have created in your hosting account cPanel. (To see how to configure your e-mail account using cPanel click this link)

 

1. To see what settings you should use for your e-mail account in Microsoft Outlook you can open the cPanel and open “Email Accounts”. After that open the “More” menu on the right of your e-mail account and click “Configure Email Client”.

 

 

2. You will find all the settings for your e-mail account in the “Manual Settings” section. There are two options to configure your e-mail client: using secure SSL/TLS settings (more secure) and using Non-SSL settings (simple).

9. Enter 110 in the “Incoming server (POP3)” field and 25 in the “Outgoing server (SMTP)” field (it should be set to these values by default). If you wish to leave copies of your messages on the server, then check “Leave a copy of messages on the server” box and under it specify number of days, after which these massages should be removed from the server. If you do not wish to leave copies of messages on the server, so that your “Mailbox Quota” won’t be exceeded as you get lots of e-mails, then you should uncheck “Leave a copy of massages on the server” box. By doing so Microsoft Outlook will download all of your e-mails to your computer and will remove them from the server. If you have finished your settings click “Ok”.
