How do I set up email on Outlook (desktop)?

Add your business email account to Microsoft Outlook — works with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and cPanel email.

Setting Up Microsoft 365 in Outlook

If you have a Microsoft 365 account:

1. Open Outlook → File → Add Account

2. Enter your @yourdomain.com email address

3. Click Connect — Outlook will auto-discover settings

4. Enter your Microsoft 365 password and sign in

5. Done — your email, calendar, and contacts will sync

Setting Up Google Workspace in Outlook

Google Workspace email works with Outlook via IMAP:

1. First, enable IMAP in your Gmail settings (Settings → Forwarding and POP/IMAP → Enable IMAP)

2. If you have 2-factor auth, generate an App Password at myaccount.google.com/apppasswords

3. In Outlook: File → Add Account → enter email → Advanced Setup → IMAP

4. Incoming server: imap.gmail.com Port 993 SSL

5. Outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com Port 587 STARTTLS

6. Enter your App Password

Setting Up cPanel/Webmail Email in Outlook

1. Log in to cPanel → Email Accounts

2. Click Connect Devices next to your email address

3. Note the IMAP and SMTP settings shown

4. In Outlook: File → Add Account → IMAP

5. Enter the settings from cPanel

Common IMAP Settings (cPanel Hosting)

  • Incoming IMAP: mail.yourdomain.com Port 993 SSL
  • Outgoing SMTP: mail.yourdomain.com Port 465 SSL (or 587 STARTTLS)

Troubleshooting

  • Cannot send: Check SMTP authentication is enabled
  • Duplicate emails: Disable POP3 if IMAP is configured
  • Password rejected: Use App Password if 2FA is on
