How to Find Your Mail Server Settings in cPanel
Every mail client asks for server names and ports. cPanel's Connect Devices screen lists the exact values for your specific server — no guessing.
Step-by-step
- Open Email → Email Accounts in cPanel.
- Click Connect Devices next to the mailbox.
- Read the "Mail Client Manual Settings" box. It shows Username, Incoming server (IMAP port 993 / POP3 port 995), Outgoing server (SMTP port 465), all over SSL/TLS.
- Prefer the Secure SSL/TLS settings column — ignore the "Non-SSL" column entirely.
- Note the server hostname. It may be mail.yourdomain.com or the server's own name (e.g. serverXX.economicalhost.com style) — the listed name always matches the SSL certificate, so certificate warnings disappear when you use it.
- Mailbox users without cPanel access can see the same screen from webmail: log in at yourdomain.com/webmail → click the account name (top-right) → Connect Devices.
💡 Good to know
- The standard values are summarized in Email Ports and SSL Settings.
- Auto-config in Outlook/Thunderbird usually finds these values by itself — manual entry is the fallback.
- Each mailbox has the same servers; only the username/password differ.
