Below is a help video that walks through setting up an email address using cPanel (which, if you’re hosted with my hosting, you have) and then setting up that email address in Outlook.
Some tricks:
- The incoming (POP) and outgoing (SMTP) servers will both be: mail.yourdomain.com
- The outgoing mail server can either be your own SMTP set up (e.g. smtp.comcast.net) or the SSL server that requires authentication and it will be going through port 26 (not port 25).
Video will take a few minutes to load and you’ll need Flash to view it. It has audio so turn up your speakers, relax, and try to figure out what SMTP stands for …
If you want to use your own ISP’s SMTP servers, this video should help (My ISP requires authentication).
VERY COOL VIDEO! Ok – that was the best. Exactly what I needed. Thank you!!
cPanel is a great tool and provides a lot of options.
Power up your site.
It makes it easier and faster to set up and tweak our sites.
Your teaching has a good flow to it, I enjoyed your video.
Dude, thanks for the video. I’m not using your webhosting service but for some reason, I had my outgoing mail server at 25 and changing it to 26 solved MY problems.
Great video! Very helpful when setting up Outlook.
Dude
You have saved my life…had been tearing my hair out trying to sort this for Outlook 2007…and your tutorial was the dogs…I had the option of either Port 25 or Port 465 for my Ougoing Server, and 465 did the trick…thanks
Yes… the options you have provided are the key. There several different programs to match up when using the Internet and your web hosting. Great video Bradley.
swtiched outgoing port from “25” to “26” and that solved all outgoing issues with outlook and cpanel. thanks.
I can still not get my outgoing server in outlook 2003 to work, very strange, the incoming server is working fine
Awesome video and very informative.
thanks for share…..will
I also found that using PORT 465 for the outgoing mailserver can work too if port 26 doesnt work.
How come Cpanel said your eamil address is bradley@…. and your username is bradley+ but you still used bradley@ as your username?
Hi Marc,
Yeah, I don’t know. Sometimes if the @ doesn’t work, the + does, especially with Macs.
Thanks for commenting.
Changing the + to @ and using PORT 465 for outgoing mail server did the trick for me with MS Outlook 2007.
Thanks for the tips!
Bill
great video, this had been driving me crazy for hours! thank you so much!
Likoma, thanks for this video too, very helpful.
Excellent, informative video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the great video. It had a lot of good and valuable information.
Hey, where is the video?
Sorry, kind of hard to see with this old video. It’s a link to an externally-hosted video. This text is the link, “Setting up Email using cPanel and Outlook.”
Yeah, I need to change those oldies to be embedded!
Haha.. actually i already saw this video before couple of months ago here. Just wanted to see it again, but my stupidness made me unable to see the video link. :p
Anyway thanks Bradley for your reply.
I cannot setting my outlook using cPanel. Always Error and error
Hi Bogor,
it depends on your host, but you’ll want to make sure the incoming (POP) and outgoing (SMTP) servers will both be: mail.yourdomain.com. It could also be that your host requires secure servers and then there are different port numbers, etc. Hopefully your host has some of those steps outlined in their help docs.
i cant see the video.. where it is?
The video isn’t working. I also have watched a ton of videos, followed every step and it still isn’t working. I get the emails forwarded to my main account, but I can’t send from that account.
Thanks very much Bradley for the help in connecting my mail to my outlook. I owe you a beer, trust me!
Thanks alot man you’ve saved my head from all this trouble, i appreciate.
