Setting Up Your Email Client

Overview

You can connect your Have Freedom Hosting email account to any desktop or mobile email app — like Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail, or Gmail — using your account credentials.

What You’ll Need

Before you start, make sure you have:

• Your email address (example: you@yourdomain.com)

• Your email password

• Your incoming and outgoing mail server details

These can be found in cPanel → Email Accounts → Connect Devices.

How to Set Up

1. Open your preferred email client.

2. Go to Add Account or New Email Account.

3. Enter your name, email address, and password.

4. Choose IMAP (recommended) or POP3 for incoming mail.

5. Enter the following details:

   Incoming Server: mail.yourdomain.com
   Port: 993 for IMAP or 995 for POP3
   Encryption: SSL/TLS

   Outgoing Server (SMTP): mail.yourdomain.com
   Port: 465 (SSL) or 587 (TLS)
   Authentication: Enabled (use your full email address and password)

6. Save or finish setup — your email will sync within a few moments.

Tips

• Always use SSL/TLS for secure connections.

• If your client asks for “username,” use your full email address.

• Test sending a message to confirm everything works.
