Outlook Configuration Settings Print

Setting up Email Accounts in your email program (e.g. Outlook)
Before you can use your email you will need to create your email accounts from the DirectAdmin control panel. If you have not done this log into the control panel at http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/config and under the E-mail Management heading click "Email Accounts" then "Create Mail Account"
These basic settings can be used with all email programs:

Incoming mail server (POP3 or IMAP): 

mail.YOURDOMAIN.com

User Name = YOUR FULL EMAIL ADDRESS. The most common mistake we get is people just entering their name here or leaving it blank.
Password = The password you set when creating the account in DirectAdmin

IMAP Settings:
IMAP Port = 993
Server requires encrypted connection (SSL). (Apple Mail users should tick "Use SSL")

POP Settings:
POP Port = 995
Server requires encrypted connection (SSL). (Apple Mail users should tick "Use SSL")

Outgoing mail server (SMTP): 

mail.YOURDOMAIN.com

Outgoing mail server (SMTP) requires password authentication, same as incoming mail server

User Name = YOUR FULL EMAIL ADDRESS. The most common mistake we get is people just entering their name here or leaving it blank.
Password = The password you set when creating the account in DirectAdmin

SMTP Port = 587 (Port 465 or 25 may work also)

Server requires encrypted connection (STARTTLS). (Choose TLS if you don't have this option. Apple Mail users should tick "Use SSL")

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some broadband connections may not allow sending e-mail through another ISP. So you may be required to use the SMTP server assigned by your ISP. If you are unsure check with your ISP.
