Estimated reading: 2 minutes

This guide shows you how to add your Veerhost email account to Microsoft Outlook and Apple Mail using IMAP so your emails stay synced across all devices.

Your Email Settings (Use These in All Clients)

  • IMAP Server: mail.yourdomain.com — Port 993 — SSL/TLS
  • SMTP Server: mail.yourdomain.com — Port 465 — SSL/TLS (or port 587 with STARTTLS)
  • Username: your full email address (e.g. [email protected])
  • Password: the password you set in cPanel for this email account

Set Up on Microsoft Outlook

  1. Open Outlook → go to File → Add Account
  2. Enter your email address and click Connect
  3. Select IMAP when asked for account type
  4. Enter the incoming server: mail.yourdomain.com, port 993, encryption SSL/TLS
  5. Enter the outgoing server: mail.yourdomain.com, port 465, encryption SSL/TLS
  6. Enter your full email address as the username and your email password
  7. Click Connect — Outlook will verify and complete the setup

Note: If Outlook auto-detects wrong settings, click Advanced options and check “Let me set up my account manually” before clicking Connect.

Set Up on Apple Mail (macOS)

  1. Open Mail → go to Mail → Add Account
  2. Select Other Mail Account and click Continue
  3. Enter your name, email address, and password → click Sign In
  4. If auto-setup fails, enter manually:
    • Account type: IMAP
    • Incoming mail server: mail.yourdomain.com
    • Outgoing mail server: mail.yourdomain.com
  5. Click Sign In to complete setup

Set Up on iPhone / iPad (iOS Mail)

  1. Go to Settings → Mail → Accounts → Add Account
  2. Tap Other → Add Mail Account
  3. Enter your name, email, password, and a description → tap Next
  4. Select IMAP at the top
  5. Under Incoming Mail Server: host mail.yourdomain.com, full email as username, your password
  6. Under Outgoing Mail Server: same host and credentials
  7. Tap Save

Troubleshooting

If you get an SSL warning, try using your server hostname instead of mail.yourdomain.com — find it in cPanel → Server Information. For more help, see Fix: Can’t Send or Receive Emails.
