Email Setup

MOBILE

To configure your email on an iPhone, tap Settings on your home screen. Then, proceed to Mail > Accounts > Add Account > Other > Add Mail Account. There you will need to fill in the required information:

  • Name: the name of your email user (e.g. John Smith);
  • Email: your email address (e.g. user@yourdomain.com);
  • Password: the password for your email address. If you don’t know it you can change it via Site Tools for your hosting account choosing Email > Accounts;
  • Description: a short description of your email account (e.g. John’s Mail)

 

 

After that tap Next and you will have to fill in the details of the Incoming Mail Server:

  • Host Name: Copy the server settings from your Site Tools > Email > Accounts, choose the preferred email account and go to the kebab menu > Mail Configuration and select Manual Settings tab;
  • User Name: user@yourdomainname.com;
  • Password: the password you’ve set for your email account.

 

 

Tap Next again and provide the same information as above for the Outgoing Mail Server and wait for the Mail app to confirm the information.

 

 

Finally, tap Save and your email will be added to your email account list.

To set up your email on an Android phone, open the Settings app and search for the Add Account section. Provide the email address (user@yourdomain.com) and press MANUAL SETUP.

Next, you will be able to choose the type of email account you will be using. We recommend the IMAP protocol because it will keep your messages on the server after you download them on a local device.

You will need to fill in your password and tap Next. Enter the incoming server settings:

 

 

  • Username: user@yourdomain.com
  • Password: the password for your email account
  • Server: Copy the server settings from your Site Tools > Email > Accounts, choose the preferred email account and go to the kebab menu > Mail Configuration and select Manual Settings tab;

When you complete filling in the information, tap Next and continue with the outgoing server settings.

 

 

  • Username: user@yourdomain.com
  • Password: the password for your email account
  • Server: provide the same server information as above.

Tap Next and choose the preferred sync frequency options. Lastly, press Next and your email account will be ready to use with your Android phone.

Desktop

To begin with, click on the Apple Icon Menu on the top left of your screen and select the System Preferences… submenu.

 

 

You will be taken to your System Preferences screen where you can adjust various options of your Mac OS. Select the Internet Accounts link to proceed.

 

 

Here, you will see a list of all the different accounts you have registered including iCloud, FaceBook, Vimeo, etc. Scroll down and select the Add Other Account… option.

 

 

Next, select to add a Mail account on the next screen.

 

 

A pop-up will appear asking you to fill in your name and the Email address that you want to register with Mac Mail. Note, that people you send emails to will receive them from the name you enter here. This option, however, can be changed later on. Finally, click Sign in to proceed.

 

 

Now, you have to fill in the server settings for your Email account:

  • Email Address: – should be pre-filled with the value you’ve entered in the previous screen;
  • Username: – enter your full email address as a username, i.e username@yourdomain.com. It will be used both for the incoming and outgoing connection;
  • Password: – enter the password for your email account;
  • Account Type: – it’s set to IMAP by default. Unless you specifically want to use POP3 you should leave it that way;
  • Incoming Mail Server: – check the exact settings to use with each of your mail accounts with your Mac Mail in your Site Tools > Email > Accounts, choose the preferred email account and go to kebab menu > Mail Configuration and select Manual Settings tab;
  • Outgoing Mail Server: – same as the incoming server;

Once you fill in all the details, press Sign In to proceed.

 

 

Finally, you will be asked which programs you want to use this account with. The available options depend on the applications you have installed on your account.

 

 

That’s it! You can now use your email account with the Mac Mail application.

To add your email account to the latest version of Microsoft Outlook first click on the File menu and then on Account Settings > Account Settings. If you’re using the Mac version, the menu will be in Outlook > Preferences > Accounts.

 

 

To begin, click on New on the new window that opens.

 

 

A new window will appear where you should input your full email address. Click on Advanced options and click on the checkbox for Let me set up my account manually. Then click Connect. On the next step select POP or IMAP depending on the protocol you want to use to connect. The difference between POP and IMAP is explained in this tutorial.

 

 

Now you need to fill in the appropriate information about your email account. Here’s a brief explanation of the different fields and what you should add in them:

  • Incoming mail section
    • Server: check the exact hostname to use with each of your mail accounts in your Site Tools > Email > Accounts, choose the preferred email account and go to kebab menu > Mail Configuration and select Manual Settings tab;
    • Port: if you chose IMAP – use 993, if you chose POP3 – use 995;
    • Encryption method: SSL/TLS;
    • Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) – leave unchecked;
  • Outgoing mail section
    • Server: check the exact hostname to use with each of your mail accounts in your Site Tools > Email > Accounts, choose the preferred email account and go to kebab menu > Mail Configuration and select Manual Settings tab;
    • Port: use 465;
    • Encryption method: SSL/TLS;
    • Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) – leave unchecked;

You can also find the exact settings to use with each of your mail accounts with your Outlook in your Site Tools > Email > Accounts, choose the preferred email account and go to kebab menu > Mail Configuration and select Manual Settings tab.

 

 

Click Next and input the password for your email address. After that click Connect.

If the information you provided is correct the email account should be added to your Outlook.
