Email Configuration

To send and receive emails from your Email Account in Outlook, begin by opening the Outlook desktop application and clicking File in the menu ribbon. Next, click the Add Account button.

Enter the hosting email address you wish to connect, and click the checkbox for the Let me set up my account manually option. Then, click Connect.

Select POP as the type of email account you are connecting.

The information required to complete the POP email setup is located on the Email Accounts screen for the site associated with that address.

Go to the Active Email Accounts section and click the information button.

Copy the connection information into the appropriate fields in Outlook’s POP setup screen.

Enter the following information into the indicated fields:

• Servers – The same server, or host, is used for both incoming and outgoing email, so enter mailu.wpmudev.host into both server fields.
• Incoming port – The incoming port for all email accounts is 995. So, enter that number into the incoming mail port field.
• Outgoing port – The outgoing port for all  email accounts is 587. So, enter that number into the outgoing mail port field.
• Encryption method – TLS is enabled for all hosted email accounts, but there are two TLS options available in Outlook. It is important to select the STARTTLS option.

  Mac User?

  If you are configuring this in the Outlook app on an Apple device and don’t see the STARTTLS option for the Outgoing mail > Encryption method as noted above, try setting it to SSL and Port 465. Then, under Advanced Settings at the last step (as seen in the image below), switch the Authentication from Incoming Server Info to Username/Password.

When ready, click the Next button. On the next screen, Outlook will request the email account password. This is the password you chose or the strong password we provided when the email address was created. Enter the email address password into the field provided by Outlook and click Connect.

You can now begin sending and receiving emails from the Outlook client using the connected  hosted email address.

To send and receive emails from your email account in Windows Mail, first open the Mail app in Windows 10. In the application settings, click Manage accounts, and then click Add account.

From the list of account types, click Advanced setup. On the next screen, select Internet email.

Enter the account information associated with your email address:

• Email address – Your  email address.
• User name – Your email address.
• Password – The password associated with your email account.
• Account name – The name associated with your email account.
• Incoming email server –mailu.wpmudev.host.
• Account type – POP3.
• Outgoing email server – mailu.wpmudev.host.

Click Sign in to finish adding your account. Once finished, you should be able to send and receive email from Windows Mail using the connected email address.
