Read email and connect a mail app
Open Webmail or copy the correct secure connection settings into your mail app.
Where Tools → Email → Email Accounts
Before you start
- Create a normal mailbox first. Its password may differ from your cPanel password.
- Use your own mailbox’s connection details, not server names from someone else’s guide.
Steps
-
1
Open Email Accounts and locate the full address.
-
2
Open the available Webmail application to read and write messages. Email Accounts manages mailboxes; it is not the inbox itself.
-
3
For a desktop or mobile app, use Connect Devices or the mail-client configuration link offered for the mailbox. Copy its secure incoming and outgoing settings.
-
4
Use the full email address as the username. IMAP synchronises mail across devices; POP downloads mail and may remove server copies depending on your app settings. Enable outgoing-server authentication.
-
5
Enter the server names, ports and SSL/TLS mode exactly as supplied. If a certificate warning appears, check the hostname with support rather than bypassing it.
-
6
Click Check Email on that row. If it is hidden on a narrow display, expand View details or use a wider window.
Check Email opens Webmail for the selected account.
Check it worked
- Send a message externally and reply to it. Check both Sent and Inbox.
- If Webmail works but your app does not, recheck the app settings. If neither works, check quota, restrictions, MX and routing.
