How to Link cPanel/DirectAdmin Webmail to Outlook on Mobile and Desktop

This guide will show you how to connect your business email/telaMail to Outlook so you can send and receive emails on your computer or phone without always logging in to webmail.

Use this guide for email accounts created in cPanel or DirectAdmin.

What You Need Before You Start

Before setting up your email in Outlook, make sure you have these ready:

• Your full email address
  Example: [email protected]
• Your email password
• Your mail server settings

In most cases, your settings will be:

Incoming Server: mail.yourdomain.com
IMAP Port: 993
Security: SSL/TLS

Outgoing Server: mail.yourdomain.com
SMTP Port: 465
Security: SSL/TLS

Username: your full email address
Password: your email password

Replace yourdomain.com with your real domain name.

Example:
If your email is [email protected], then your server may be:

Incoming Server: mail.mybusiness.com
Outgoing Server: mail.mybusiness.com

Step 1: Find Your Email Settings in cPanel

If your email is hosted on cPanel:

1. Log in to your cPanel account.
2. Open Email Accounts.
3. Find the email address you want to connect.
4. Click Connect Devices.

You will see the mail settings there.

Step 2: Find Your Email Settings in DirectAdmin

If your email is hosted on DirectAdmin:

1. Log in to your DirectAdmin account.
2. Open the Email Accounts section.
3. Find the email address you want to connect.
4. Check the mail settings for that email account.

If the settings are not shown clearly, use:

Incoming Server: mail.yourdomain.com
Outgoing Server: mail.yourdomain.com

Important: Use IMAP, Not POP

When setting up your email, choose IMAP.

IMAP is better because:

• Your emails stay synced on all devices
• You can access the same inbox on phone and computer
• Deleting or reading an email on one device updates it everywhere

Password: your email password

Incoming Server: mail.mycompany.com
IMAP Port: 993
Security: SSL/TLS

Outgoing Server: mail.mycompany.com

If Outlook Does Not Connect

If setup fails, check these one by one:

• Make sure the password is correct
• Make sure you selected IMAP
• Make sure the incoming port is 993
• Make sure the outgoing port is 465
• Make sure SSL/TLS is selected
• Make sure you used the correct server name

If mail.yourdomain.com does not work, check your cPanel or DirectAdmin account for the exact server name.
