Before starting, you will need to create an email account in cPanel if one does not already exist.
Here are the steps required for setting up a new email account in Windows Mail.
Open Windows Mail
Click the 'gear' icon at the bottom left of the window to open Settings
Click Manage accounts
Click + Add account
In the Add an account window, scroll to the very bottom of the list and click Advanced setup
Select Internet email -> POP or IMAP accounts
Enter the following information
| Email address | Your full email address, e.g. name@yourdomain.com |
| User name |
Your full email address, e.g. name@yourdomain.com |
| Password | The password you used when creating the email in cPanel |
| Account name |
This can be anything, but for ease of use it is best to use your email address e.g. name@yourdomain.com |
| Send your messages using this name |
The name you would like other people to see when they receive emails from you |
| Incoming mail server |
Use mail.yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain.com with your domain name) |
| Account type |
If you're not sure, use IMAP4. If you are only planning to check this email address this computer, select POP3. |
| Outgoing mail server | Use mail.yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain.com with your domain name) |
| Remaining options | Leave the four remaining options ticked |
