# What are the IMAP and SMTP servers?

[*Click here if you are looking for the SMTP settings to use for your website*](https://help.hodi.host/en/article/which-smtp-server-to-use-for-my-site-1j7suj4/)

When you create an email account on cPanel, you can configure it on your usual email client with the following instructions:

* [Outlook 2019](https://help.hodi.host/en/article/how-to-configure-your-mailbox-on-outlook-2019-vc8hop/)
* [iPhone / iPad](https://help.hodi.host/en/article/how-to-configure-your-mailbox-on-an-iphone-or-ipad-1llaubx/)
If you have a different email client, you can use the settings below:

|  | **Encrypted connection (recommended)** | **Unencrypted connection** |
| ---- |
| **Incoming server (IMAP)** |  |  |
| Server name / Host | "mail." followed by your domain name (e.g., **mail.**mapetiteentreprise.re if your domain name is mapetitentreprise.re) | "mail." followed by your domain name (e.g., **mail.**mapetiteentreprise.re if your domain name is mapetitentreprise.re) |
| Username / Login | Full email address with domain name (e.g., contact@mapetiteentreprise.re) | Full email address with domain name (e.g., contact@mapetiteentreprise.re) |
| Password | Password configured on cPanel | Password configured on cPanel |
| Port (incoming) | 993 | 143 |
| SSL/TLS secure connection | yes | no |
| **Outgoing server (SMTP)** |  |  |
| Server name / Host | "mail." followed by your domain name (e.g., **mail.**mapetiteentreprise.re if your domain name is mapetitentreprise.re) | "mail." followed by your domain name (e.g., **mail.**mapetiteentreprise.re if your domain name is mapetitentreprise.re) |
| Username / Login | Full email address with domain name (e.g., contact@mapetiteentreprise.re) | Full email address with domain name (e.g., contact@mapetiteentreprise.re) |
| Password | Password configured on cPanel | Password configured on cPanel |
| Port (outgoing) | 465 | 25 or 587 |
| SSL/TLS secure connection | yes | no |
**Good to know:** You can also use the **POP** protocol but we generally do not recommend it. The only difference from IMAP is the port to use: 995 for encrypted connection, and 110 for unencrypted connection.

> **You can also access your emails via your webmail:** simply type "webmail." followed by your domain name in your browser's address bar, for example webmail.mapetiteentreprise.re.
>  
> This is particularly useful if you have a configuration issue, to verify that the password you are using is correct. If the password does not work on the webmail, then the password is incorrect.
