# How to Configure Email in Outlook & Gmail

#### Introduction <a href="#introduction" id="introduction"></a>

Once you've created an email account in cPanel, the next step is configuring it with your preferred email client, such as Microsoft Outlook or Gmail. This allows you to send and receive emails seamlessly from your domain-based email. This guide will walk you through setting up your email in both Outlook and Gmail.

#### Step 1: Gather Email Configuration Settings <a href="#step-1-gather-email-configuration-settings" id="step-1-gather-email-configuration-settings"></a>

Before setting up your email in Outlook or Gmail, you’ll need the following details:

* **IMAP (Incoming) Server:** `mail.yourdomain.com`
* **POP3 (Incoming) Server:** `mail.yourdomain.com`
* **SMTP (Outgoing) Server:** `mail.yourdomain.com`
* **Username:** Your full email address (e.g., `you@yourdomain.com`)
* **Password:** The password you set when creating the email account
* **Port for IMAP:** 993 (SSL) or 143 (non-SSL)
* **Port for POP3:** 995 (SSL) or 110 (non-SSL)
* **Port for SMTP:** 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS)

You can find these settings in cPanel by navigating to **Email Accounts > Connect Devices**.
