Outlook Settings for DirectAdmin Hosting

The default Outlook Settings for DirectAdmin Hosting that come with DirectAdmin installations are the most comprehensive and effective. Usually, all of the settings for the mail software are there when you create a new POP/SMTP/IMAP account (email box) in DirectAdmin.

Outlook SMTP / IMAP Configuration for DirectAdmin:

The following steps help to configure SMTP on DirectAdmin:

1. Firstly, we have to create an email account in DirectAdmin.
2. Now we can configure incoming emails in the email program with the below settings:
   • For IMAP server:
     server or host: mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM (change YOURDOMAIN.COM for the domain which we use)
     port for STARTTLS: 143
     port for SSL/TLS: 993
     port for unsecured connections: 143
     user or login: Your full email address
     authentication method: standard password
   • For POP server:
     server or host: mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM (change YOURDOMAIN.COM for domain which You use)
     port for STARTTLS: 110
     port for SSL/TLS: 995
     port for unsecured connections: 110
     user or login: Your full email address
     authentication method: standard password
3. Then we can configure outgoing emails with below settings:
   • SMTP server:
     server or host: mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM (change YOURDOMAIN.COM for domain which You use)
     port for STARTTLS: 587
     port for SSL/TLS: 465
     port for unsecured connections: 587
     user or login: Your full email address
     authentication method: standard password
4. When we connect to the email account for the first time, we have to provide the password we used to create it in DirectAdmin.
5. We might occasionally need to accept a server SSL certificate. We may need to check an option like “Accept untrusted certificates” on some email systems.
