  • Incoming mail server (IMAP): imap.yourdomain.com — port 993 (SSL/TLS) or 143 (STARTTLS)
  • Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.yourdomain.com — port 587 (SSL/TLS)
  • Username: your full email address (e.g. you@yourdomain.com)  ·  Password: your email password

IMAP is recommended so your email stays in sync across all your devices.

(If you select to use POP instead, the POP incoming uses mail.yourdomain.com on port 995/SSL.)

After creating your email account in your /siteadmin area, you can set it up in Outlook as an IMAP account — generally the best choice if you check the same account on multiple devices.

Your incoming (IMAP) server is imap.[ your actual domain name here ] and your outgoing (SMTP) server is smtp.[ your actual domain name here ].
