How do I set up Outlook, Outlook Express or Apple Mail with my e-mail account?
Updated on 3 November 2026
You can use your e-mail accounts at Atlas Hoster with mail programs such as Outlook, Windows Mail, Thunderbird or Apple Mail. Although each program is different, they all offer a similar interface for managing your e-mail accounts (it is normally found in the "Tools > E-mail accounts" or "Settings" menu of the program in question). Using this account management interface, you will need to change the following settings: * POP3 server (incoming mail server): mail.[yourdomain.com] (replace [yourdomain.com] with your domain name) * SMTP server (outgoing mail server): mail.[yourdomain.com] (replace [yourdomain.com] with your domain name) * SMTP port (outgoing server port): 26 Note: this setting is often found in the "Advanced" tab of your mail program's configuration screen. The default value is usually 25. * Username or login ID: you@yourdomain.com (replace with your full e-mail address) Note: do not confuse it with your main username for cPanel. You must give your full e-mail address. * Password: the password you chose in the cPanel interface when the e-mail account was created. Note: do not confuse it with your main password for cPanel. You must give the password chosen when the e-mail account in question was created. Note: it is important to test sending and receiving e-mails from your new account in order to catch any configuration error. If you have problems with your e-mail accounts and cannot send or receive e-mails, please contact us by telephone.
