Setting Up Email On Your Computer with Microsoft Outlook

To set up your computer to send/receive emails, you must already have the email account created in your Control Panel. You will need the following information when following the step by step instructions below for your email program.

Please Note: Outlook versions 2013 and older are no longer supported and will not work.  We recommend using the latest version of Outlook found here.  You can install one license ($8.25/month) on 5 computers.

  • Password: use whatever password you were assigned.
  • Incoming Mail Server:  Use mail.yourdomain.com (replacing yourdomain.com with your domain name).
    • Use SSL on port 993 (IMAP) or port 995 (POP)

    • “My outgoing (SMTP) server requires authentication” – Yes

Outlook 2019+ Autodiscover Account Set up

Our mail servers support Autodiscover for Outlook 2019!  This means your account setup is much easier than it used to be if you have the newest version of Outlook.

Older versions of Outlook will have varying ability to Autodiscover your email account and settings.  If you’re using an older version of Outlook that does not offer Autodiscover you’ll have to set up your account manually using the steps found in the Outlook Manual Setup section (below)

Follow these few steps in Outlook to set up your account:

  1. Go to File > Account Settings > Account Settings > and click the “New…” button.
  2. A new window will open, enter your full email address and click “Connect”.
  3. Select IMAP (recommended) or POP.
  4. Enter your account’s password and click “Connect”.
  5. Outlook should say “Account successfully updated”, click “Done” and you’re all set!

Note: If your account setup fails, please double check your email and password for typos.  You will have to exit the setup and click “New…” again to re-enter your information.  If your account setup fails a second time, click “Change Account Settings” and make sure your settings match what is listed in the Required Information section of this page (above).
