How to setup mailbox using POP3 on phone, tablet or mail client?
By using a POP3 connection, you will be using one of the most common ways to connect mailboxes to systems, and you will be able to have your email on your phone, your tablet, your alternate web mail system, or your computer.
The way your device or mail client is designed may be different than how other programs or devices work, with different names for the same steps.
Your device or programs should have detailed information on how to add and set up mailboxes onto the system, but there are general pieces of information you need to complete the process.
When selecting the account type, select POP3.
Your User Name is your full email address.
Your Password is your mailbox password, which you setup in cPanel.
Your Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server are both mail.[domain], where you replace [domain] with your domain name.
So, for example, if your name is Bob and your domain name is thisismydomain.com:
User Name: bob@thisismydomain.com
Password: password33
Incoming Mail Server: mail.thisismydomain.com
Outgoing Mail Server: mail.thisismydomain.com
For the Outgoing Mail Server, make certain that you have checked that the server requires authentication.
- You are using the default SMTP ports (25, 587)
- You are using the default POP3 port (110)
- You are not using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
- You are using Password for Authentication
