Setting up Email using cPanel and Outlook

By Bradley Charbonneau | Filed under Email, FAQ, Help

Below is a help video that walks through setting up an email address using cPanel (which, if you’re hosted with my hosting, you have) and then setting up that email address in Outlook.

Some tricks:

  • The incoming (POP) and outgoing (SMTP) servers will both be: mail.yourdomain.com
  • The outgoing mail server can either be your own SMTP set up (e.g. smtp.comcast.net) or the SSL server that requires authentication and it will be going through port 26 (not port 25).

Video will take a few minutes to load and you’ll need Flash to view it. It has audio so turn up your speakers, relax, and try to figure out what SMTP stands for …

If you want to use your own ISP’s SMTP servers, this video should help (My ISP requires authentication).

    cPanel is a great tool and provides a lot of options.

    Power up your site.

    It makes it easier and faster to set up and tweak our sites.

    Your teaching has a good flow to it, I enjoyed your video.

    Dude, thanks for the video. I’m not using your webhosting service but for some reason, I had my outgoing mail server at 25 and changing it to 26 solved MY problems.

    Yes… the options you have provided are the key. There several different programs to match up when using the Internet and your web hosting. Great video Bradley.
