How to Set Up Your Email Account with Hoster.Pk

To start using your email, you first need to create your email account from the DirectAdmin control panel. If you haven't done this yet, follow these steps:

1. Log into the DirectAdmin control panel at http://www.YOURDOMAIN.COM:2222
2. Under the "E-mail Management" section, click "Email Accounts."
3. Then, click "Create Mail Account" to create your email account.

Basic Email Settings for All Email Programs:

Incoming Mail Server (POP3 or IMAP):

Server: mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM User Name: YOUR FULL EMAIL ADDRESS Password: The password you set during account creation in DirectAdmin

IMAP Settings:

• IMAP Port: 993
• Server requires encrypted connection (SSL). If you are using Apple Mail, make sure to tick "Use SSL."

POP Settings:

• POP Port: 995
• Server requires encrypted connection (SSL). If you are using Apple Mail, make sure to tick "Use SSL."

Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):

Server: mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM Outgoing mail server (SMTP) requires password authentication, same as the incoming mail server. User Name: YOUR FULL EMAIL ADDRESS Password: The password you set during account creation in DirectAdmin SMTP Port: 587 Server requires encrypted connection (STARTTLS). If you don't have this option, choose TLS. For Apple Mail users, tick "Use SSL."

Note: Some broadband connections may not allow sending emails through another ISP like us. In such cases, you might need to use the SMTP server provided by your ISP. If you are unsure, check with your ISP.

Secure Connections:

To ensure security, use the provided port numbers and ensure your connection is encrypted. At some point in the future, we might disable support for non-secure connections.

POP vs. IMAP:

Choose IMAP if you access your email from multiple devices like your computer, phone, and tablet, as it keeps email synced between all devices. POP, on the other hand, downloads all emails to your computer, usually deleting them from the server. Use POP only if you access your email from one computer or device.

Instructions for Specific Email Programs:

1. Go to File > Account Settings (Tools > Account Settings in older versions).
2. Click New or double-click an existing account.
3. Select "Manual setup or additional server types" and click Next.

Incoming mail server: mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM Outgoing mail server (SMTP): mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM User name: YOUR FULL EMAIL ADDRESS Password: The password for your email account Tick "Require logon using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)."

6. Click More settings > Outgoing Server tab and select "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication."
7. Choose "Use same settings as my incoming mail server."
8. Click the Advanced tab and check the following:

If using POP:

• Incoming server (POP3): 995
• Tick, "This server requires an encrypted connection."

If using IMAP:

• Incoming server (IMAP): 993
• Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL

For both POP and IMAP, set the outgoing server (SMTP) to 587 and use TLS as the encrypted connection.
