The full address you created (e.g., info@yourdomain.com). |
| Password |
The secure, unique password you set during the creation process. |
Step 2: Key Server Configuration Settings (Corrected)
Most modern email clients (like those on iPhones, Androids, and recent versions of Outlook/Mac Mail) will automatically find these settings if you use the recommended setup.
Recommended Settings (IMAP/SSL)
Always use IMAP and SSL/TLS (Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security) for a secure, synchronized connection. IMAP keeps your mail stored on the server so you can view the same emails on your phone and your computer.
Note on Server Address: Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name. For example, if your website is yourministry.org, your server address is mail.yourministry.org.
Step 3: Where to Find Specific Instructions
Since every email client (Outlook, Mac Mail, Gmail app, etc.) is slightly different, the most reliable way to set up your account is to use the specific instructions generated by cPanel:
-
Log in to cPanel (via the Client Area link).
-
Go to the Email Accounts section.
-
Find your email address in the list and click the Connect Devices button next to it.
-
You will be taken to a page that lists all the settings above, plus specific files you can download (like the Mail Client Automatic Configuration Scripts) that can make setup even easier for apps like Outlook and Mac Mail.
Pro Tip: Using Non-SSL Ports (If You Have Trouble)
In rare cases, usually on older clients or specific networks, the SSL/TLS ports may not work. You can try these unencrypted ports as a backup (though SSL is strongly preferred):
