How do I add account to Outlook Express?

Hello! I need to add email account to Outlook Express so I can send email directly from my domain.

We do not recommend auto configuration tool provided by cPanel because you need to know exact version of Outlook and it doesn't work on Microsoft Vista systems. Let's setup this manually via "Accounts > Add new account". Here is important settings you need. Please replace "yourdomain.com" and "mywest.net" with actual domain name.

incoming POP3 server: mail.yourdomain.com
incoming POP3 server PORT: 110
outgoing SMTP server: mail.yourdomain.com
outgoing SMTP server PORT: 25 OR 2525 (if you experiencing issues with default port 25)
SSL: NO (if you wish to use SSL protocols, please follow this thread) Authentication required: YES
Username: username@yourdomain.com
Password: your selected password (please see step #3 above).

Example:

incoming POP3 server: mail.mywest.net
incoming POP3 server PORT: 110
outgoing SMTP server: mail.mywest.net
outgoing SMTP server PORT: 25 OR 2525 (if you experiencing issues with default port 25)
SSL: NO (if you wish to use SSL protocols, please follow this thread) Authentication required: YES
Username: test@mywest.net
Password: eXampLeOfGoodPassW0r@!
