How to setup a Plesk email address in Outlook

  1. Log in to your Plesk Control Panel using the details you were provided with.  Your plesk URL will be https://yourdomain.com:8443 unless otherwise told.
  2. Once you’re logged in, click on your domain name. 
  3. Click the Mail icon    
  4. Click the Add New Mail Name icon 
  5. Enter the account name and password, then click  OK.

After you’ve created your POP3 account in Plesk (see previous QnA), you can set up the account in your preferred Mail Client, or you can read your Mail using the WebMail service which is part of every hosting account.

To set up your account in a Mail client such as Outlook, use the following settings :

1. Username

Your Username is the full email address, including the domain name, of the account you created.
IE: info@yourdomain.com

2. Password

Your Password is the password you entered when you created the account in Plesk.

3. Incoming Mail server (POP3)

Your Incoming Mail server (POP3)is mail.yourdomain.com where yourdomain.com is your actual website domain name

4. Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)

Your Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) is the same as your ISP’s outgoing mail server. Use the same setting provided by your Internet service provider to avoid problems delivering email. Most Virus and SPAM conscious ISPs now require you to use their outgoing Mail server to help reduce the proliferation of viruses and eliminate SPAM.  If you wish to use your domains outgoing server, we cannot guarantee it will work because of ISPs blocking the default SMTP port.  But, if you wish to do so, set it the same as the incoming:

mail.yourdomain.com
SMTP Port: 25
