  • 3

Setting up your new email account(s) is probably one of the first things you want to do, and thankfully it’s an easy process.
All you need to do is follow the steps down below.

  1. Login to your existing cPanel
  2. Click on the Email Accounts icon on your cPanel home screen.
  3. You will now see a Create Account form; here you will enter the email address you wish to create, password and set a mailbox quota (250MB is often sufficient).
  4. Click Create Account.


Mail Client Manual Settings

 

Secure SSL/TLS Settings (Recommended)
Username: info@"yourdomain".com.au
Password: Use the email account’s password.
Incoming Server: mail.yourdomain.com
  • IMAP Port: 993
  • POP3 Port: 995
Outgoing Server: mail.yourdomain.com
  • SMTP Port: 465
IMAP, POP3, and SMTP require authentication.
Non-SSL Settings (NOT Recommended)
Username: info@"yourdomain".com.au
Password: Use the email account’s password.
Incoming Server: mail.yourdomain.com
  • IMAP Port: 143
  • POP3 Port: 110
Outgoing Server: mail.yourdomain.com
  • SMTP Port: 25
IMAP, POP3, and SMTP require authentication.
 

Notes:

  • IMAP email access coordinates between the server and your mail application. Messages that have been read/deleted/replied to will show up as such, both on the server and in the mail application.
  • POP3 does not coordinate with the server. Messages marked as read/deleted/replied to in the mail application will not show up as such on the server. This means that future mail downloads with POP3 will show all messages as unread.
  • Outgoing mail is sent using SMTP.
  • We recommend using POP3 over SSL/TLS or IMAP over SSL/TLS since they provide increased security for your interactions with the remote mail server.
