- These instructions are intended specifically for setting up POP3/IMAP email on Postbox.
- I’ll be working with Postbox version 3.0.11.
- If these instructions don’t quite work for you, check-out our tutorial on setting up other email clients.
Your Name should be your name as you want it to appear in emails that you send.
Email Address should simply be your email address.
Password should simply be the password for your email account.
Click Manual Setup…

First we’ll setup the Incoming Server information. If you’ve configured your email in cPanel then you can either select POP3 or IMAP for the connection Type . In this case, we’ve selected IMAP and Port is set to 143 .
User Name should be your username, generally with the domain included. For example, test-user@thebestfakedomainnameintheworld.com instead of just test-user .
The Server Name should be set to the correct hostname. Generally speaking, this will be mail.yourdomain.com or similar.

Then click Finish
