How do I setup my mailbox in Outlook?

We make use of 'autodiscover' technology so that in the majority of cases, Microsoft Outlook can set up your account for you with only an email address and a password.

Automatic Setup

  • In Outlook, choose the File tab
  • Under 'Account Information', choose Add Account
  • On the Auto Account Setup page, enter your name, email address, and password, and then choose Next
  • Choose Finish


Manual Setup

If automatic setup fails, you can choose Manual setup or additional server types to enter your settings manually. Use these settings:

Account type: IMAP

Incoming mail server: imap.stackmail.com

To view your IMAP hostname for mail setup, head to Manage Hosting and select the hosting package you need the IMAP hostname for.
In
the Account Information section on the right-hand side, you’ll then see the Incoming Mail Server which will be your IMAP hostname.

Outgoing mail server: smtp.stackmail.com

To view your SMTP hostname for mail setup, head to Manage Hosting and select the hosting package you need the SMTP hostname for.
In
the Account Information section on the right-hand side, you’ll then see the Outgoing Mail Server which will be your SMTP hostname.

Incoming server port (IMAP): 993

Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL

Outgoing server port (SMTP): 587 (or 465)

Use the following type of encrypted connection: TLS

When setting up your account, please choose More Settings > Outgoing Server and check the box for 'My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication'.

If you experience any problems with the connection or receive a certificate warning, please disable SSL/TLS encryption and change the incoming server port to 143.
