To access your dedicated server cPanel email account using an email client, such as Outlook®, Thunderbird™, or Entourage®, you need the following information:
- User Name
- This is the name of the email account you created in cPanel (for example janesmith@coolexample.com).
- Password
- This is the password you specified in cPanel when you set up your email account.
- POP3 Setting
- mail.yourpersonaldomainname.com, where yourpersonaldomainname.com is your domain name.
- SMTP Setting
- mail.yourpersonaldomainname.com, where yourpersonaldomainname.com is your domain name.
NOTE: The outgoing (SMTP) server requires authentication and uses the same user name and password as the incoming (POP3) server.
