-
Select the default Email service "Internet E-mail" and click on Next

Select Account Type as POP or IMAP. We'd suggest you using POP. It keeps a copy of your email on your computer so that view it even if you are offline
-
Enter the Incoming mail server as pop.yourdomain.com (‘imap.yourdomain.com’ if you are using IMAP)
Note: If you have a Linux Hosting package, set the Incoming mail server to mail.yourdomain.com If you have a Windows Hosting package, set the Incoming mail server to yourdomain.com
- Enter the Outgoing mail server as smtp.yourdomain.com
Note: If you have a Linux Hosting package, set the Outgoing mail server to mail.yourdomain.com If you have a Windows Hosting package, set the Outgoing mail server to yourdomain.com

Click on More Settings button

Click on Outgoing Server tab
-
Tick "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication"
-
Click on the Advanced tab
-
Enter the port numbers as following:
Incoming server (POP3) - 110 | (IMAP) - 143 Outgoing server SMTP - 587

Tick on the option "Leave a copy of messages on the server". This will ensure that a copy of your email is stored on our servers even after it gets downloaded to your Outlook.
-
Click on OK
-
Click on Next
-
Click on Finish
That’s it. You are all set to use your email account on your Outlook 2010.
