Setting up Email


You can use either the webmail interface or an email client. If you decide to use an email client, such as Microsoft Outlook Express, MS Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird and Eudora, here are the settings you need:

  • Incoming mail server (POP3/IMAP server): yourdomain.com
  • Outgoing mail server (SMTP server): yourdomain.com Or Host: yourdomain.com
  • Username: the full e-mail address. Example: you@yourdomain.com instead of you.
  • Password: Assigned in cPanel -> Email -> Manage/Add/Remove Accounts.
  SMTP authentication must be enabled for the login to be successful.


If you have your domain pointed to an external server and the MX record is resolving to one of the GreenHostIt.com servers use the server name as  the Incoming/Outgoing mail server.

You can also use secure authentication to your mail server.

Email ports

  • The POP3 port for inbound emails is 110 (995 if you want to use secured POP3)
  • And the IMAP port for inbound emails is 143 (993 if you want to use secured IMAP)
  • The SMTP port for outbound emails is 25 or 2525 (465 if you want to use secured SMTP)
