Set up miHosting email in Outlook

Introduction

Outlook lets you manage your miHosting.com email from your computer without opening webmail. To make it work correctly, you need the right server, username, password, ports and security settings.

Basic details

Type	Server	Port	Security
Incoming IMAP	mail.yourdomain.com	993	SSL/TLS
Incoming POP3	mail.yourdomain.com	995	SSL/TLS
Outgoing SMTP	mail.yourdomain.com	465	SSL/TLS
Alternative SMTP	mail.yourdomain.com	587	STARTTLS

For most users, IMAP is the best choice.

Setup steps

1. Open Outlook.
2. Go to File.
3. Click Add account.
4. Enter your full email address.
5. Choose manual setup if Outlook offers it.
6. Select IMAP or POP3.
7. Enter mail.yourdomain.com as the incoming server.
8. Enter mail.yourdomain.com as the outgoing server.
9. Use your full email address as the username.
10. Enter the mailbox password and finish the setup.

Conclusion

Setting up Outlook with your miHosting email is simple if you use IMAP, mail.yourdomain.com, secure ports and your full email address as the username. If it fails, check the password, encryption and SMTP authentication first.
