The Mail Client Settings panel is perhaps one of the most valuable sections of cPanel. Using the features available in this area of our cPanel, you can quickly locate configuration information for adding e-mail accounts to applications like Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail, and more.
You can let the application automatically assign this information using one of the available Protocols (Scripts) shown in the list, or you can manually provide this information. If you choose to do it manually, you will need to edit the settings of your preferred Email client when setting it up for the first time.
Note that you can also choose to send all the required information via Email directly from this page. The bullet points on the bottom are also very useful, so make sure to review them thoroughly.
How to Find Mail Client Settings in cPanel
1. Locate the Email Accounts under the Email section in your cPanel.
2. Navigating to the far right column on the same line with the Email account options, you will find the CONNECT DEVICES button. Click on it and continue to the next window.
On the next window, you will find two options for getting the mail client settings:
Mail Client Automatic Configuration
Locate the Email Client you wish to set up from the application list on the left, then click on the associated protocol on the right. Some of them will open up a setup wizard, requiring you to Run or Save a configuration file. The configuration file which is downloaded will automatically set up your Email client.
Mail Client Manual Settings
If you do not see an auto-configuration script for your client in the list above, you can manually configure your mail client using the settings below. You can also send yourself or to someone else this information via the Email Instructions section at the bottom of the page.
Make sure to replace the username with your email address and the incoming mail server with your domain after the mail. part.
Secure SSL/TLS Settings (Recommended)
Username: [email protected]
Password: Use the email account’s password.
Incoming Server: mail.replacewithyourdomain.com
IMAP Port: 993;
POP3 Port: 995
Outgoing Server: mail.replacewithyourdomain.com
SMTP Port: 465
IMAP, POP3, and SMTP require authentication, which is done through your email address and its password.

Hi,
One thing I am a bit confused about is, that you state in this article “Incoming Server: mail.replacewithyourdomain.com” -> I use my domain. In CPanel the Incoming Server is stated with “rs-lon.serverhostgroup.com”.
Thanks,
Alex
