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.

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:

- 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.

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.
11.3.4 Windows Mail
IMPORTANT
Windows Mail does not have an option to remove email from the server after you’ve downloaded or synced it to your client. This means that once your 100Mb limit for the connected email account is reached, email will cease functioning. This guide is provided as a configuration example for your convenience, but we do not recommend this client.
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.
Follow these instructions to connect your email account to the Mail application included with your Mac computer or Apple iOS devices.
Choose the Add an account option or (+) icon in the Mail application preferences for a laptop or desktop computer, or from the preferences in your iOS device select, Add Account.
Choose the Other option in the list of clients.
Enter:
- Your name
- Email address associated to your email account
- The password you created or the strong password generated by when the email account was created
And click the Sign-in button. This will display the message, Unable to verify the account name or password, message.
Be sure to switch account type to POP and for the incoming and outgoing mail servers input mailu.wpmudev.host.
Select the Apps you want to use with the account and click done.
You should now be able to send and receive emails from your Apple devices using the Mail application.
You can access additional configuration options for your POP account in the mail configurations options.
Note that if you’re setting this up on an iPhone, you may need to double-check that SMTP is enabled for this account (with correct username & password), and SSL is set to port 587.
