To connect your mailbox to Outlook, Apple Mail, or a phone email app, use these settings:
- Incoming server (IMAP) — recommended, keeps mail synced across devices. Port 993 (SSL).
- Incoming server (POP3) — downloads mail to one device only. Port 995 (SSL).
- Outgoing server (SMTP) — port 465 (SSL) or 587 (STARTTLS).
- Server hostname — usually
mail.yourdomain.com. - Username — your full email address.
- Password — the mailbox password you set when creating the account.
Both control panels can generate ready-made configuration for you automatically:
- DirectAdmin — open an email account under E-mail Accounts and click Show Client Configuration for exact settings and a QR code.
- cPanel — use the Connect Devices page under Email Accounts for ready-made configuration for common apps and a QR code for mobile setup.
