Setting up your mailbox in Outlook is quick and easy. The StackCP mail system is able to make use of 'autodiscover' technology, which means that most cases, Microsoft Outlook can set up your account for you with only an email address and a password.

Automatic Outlook Setup

In Outlook, click the File tab
Under Account Information, click Add Account
On the Auto Account Setup page, enter your name, email address, and password, and then click Next
click Finish

Manual Outlook Setup for your mailbox

If the autodiscover setup failed, you can choose Manual setup or additional server types to enter your settings manually. Use these settings:

Account type: IMAP
Incoming mail server: imap.stackmail.com.
Outgoing mail server: smtp.stackmail.com.
Incoming server port (IMAP): 993
Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL
Outgoing server port (SMTP): 465
Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL/TLS

When setting up your account, please click 'More Settings' > 'Outgoing Server' and check the box for 'My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication'.

**If you experience any problems with the connection or receive a certificate warning, please disable SSL/TLS encryption and change the incoming server port to 143.

You can also set up the account using POP3, however this is not recommended in general as emails will be downloaded to the mail client you connect to the mail server.

Account type: POP3
Incoming mail server: pop3.stackmail.com.
Outgoing mail server: smtp.stackmail.com.
Incoming server port (POP3): 995
Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL
Outgoing server port (SMTP): 465
Use the following type of encrypted connection: SSL/TLS
