This tutorial will explain how to setup a Cpanel POP3 email account up in Microsoft Outlook 2007. Some versions of Microsoft Outlook are slightly different but these settings remain the same.

• Open Outlook and at the top menu go to > Tools >E-mail Accounts

The box you see below will appear.

• Click "New"

In the new window that appeared select "Microsoft Exchange, POP3, IMAP, or HTTP" and then "Next" at the bottom.

In the new window that appeared fill in your information:

• "Your Name". This is the name that will show up in the "From" line when you email someone. It can be what ever you like it to be.

• "Email Address". This would be the email address you are setting up [The one you already created in cPanel].

• "Incoming Server mail server (POP3)". "Outgoing mail server (SMTP)". Both the incoming server and outgoing should be set exactly the same. Substitute "yourdomain" in the image below with your actual domain name.

• "User Name". This should be the full email address. *IMPORTANT - Sometimes OUtlook automatically fills the username in for you, but does not input the full email address. Make sure this is correct.

• "Password". Type in the password you selected earlier in the cPanel. This is case sensitive. If you cannot remember your password you can login to cPanel and update it. Apply the checkmark "Remember Password".

• Leave the "Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)" unchecked.

• Do not "Test Account Settings" as we need to change a few more settings first.

Click "More Settings". Another window will appear. We need to make a few changes. We are almost finished!

After you clicked "More Settings" a new box appears the same as below. The new box has tabs you can select across the top. We'll start with the "General" tab.

• You should put your name or company name in "Organization".

• You should put your email address in the "Reply E-mail field".

After entering your info click the next tab to the right "Outgoing Server" and a new window will appear. See below. [Do not click OK at the bottom yet].

In the "Outgoing Server" tab make sure you have exactly the same as in the image below.

• Check "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication".

• Select the radio button "Use same settings as my incoming server". See below.

Once you have verified your info is correct click "OK" at the bottom. You will be back a the main setup window. See below.

You are now back at the main window. You don't have change anything as you have already put your info in. If you like you can test account settings, or simply click "Next" at the bottom and the final window appears to tell you that you have finished.

Congratulations! You can now use your email client to send and receive your emails. While this tutorial is for MS Outlook 2007, the settings will also apply for other email clients as well, such as Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Windows Live etc.
