How to configure email clients

You can use either the webmail interface or an email client. Check our tutorial on how to use cPanel webmail. If you decide to use an email client, such as Microsoft Outlook Express, MS Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird and Eudora, here are the settings you need:

Incoming mail server (POP3/IMAP server): mail.yourdomain.com
Outgoing mail server (SMTP server): mail.yourdomain.com Or Host: mail.yourdomain.com
Username: the full e-mail address. Example: you@yourdomain.com instead of you.
Password: Assigned in cPanel -> Email -> Manage/Add/Remove Accounts.
SMTP authentication must be enabled for the login to be successful.*

If you have your domain pointed to an external server and the MX record is resolving to one of the SiteGround servers use the server name as  the Incoming/Outgoing mail server.

You can also use secure authentication to your mail server.

Email ports

• The POP3 port for inbound emails is 110 (995 if you want to use secured POP3)


• And the IMAP port for inbound emails is 143 (993 if you want to use secured IMAP)


• The SMTP port for outbound emails is 25 or 2525 (465 if you want to use secured SMTP)
