webgyrl Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Hi, Just trying to set up email in Outlook 2003 going through the domain instead of my ISP and I have run into a strange error. I used the Help Docs on the TCH site (for Outlook 2002) to set up the email addresses. I am able to send the emails just fine (even using Port 25), but for some reason I can't recieve any email. Why would this happen? The port for recieving email is set to 110. I also have authentication checked to use same settings as my incoming mail server. Incoming (POP) is set to mail.domain.com Outgoing (SMTP) is set to mail.domain.com Also, just a quick question: in order to set up an email address to use in Outlook, in cPanel, do I have to go to MAIL > MANAGE/ADD/REMOVE ACCOUNTS > then set up a new email address? Do I use that password instead of the master password to set up the account in Outlook? I don't want to use webmail for this particular account, just Outlook. Most of the other email addresses I have for this particular domain have forwarders set up on them that forward email to a Yahoo account. I'm just not sure how to set up the initial email account if I am not forwarding it anywhere and don't want to use webmail. If I did want to use Outlook and also forward these emails to an outside account, how would I set that up? This part of the online instructions confused me: - User name (same as your e-mail address): jdoe@******- Password I used the main cPanel passwords because when i tried to use the email username it wouldn't work. Using the cpanel username and password did work tho. Thanks for your help! Quote
webgyrl Posted April 24, 2005 Author Posted April 24, 2005 Ok, I figured it out. I had to go in and set up email accounts for each email address I wanted and then in Outlook put in the FULL email address and corresponding password. Yay! Quote
TCH-Andy Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 I'm glad it's sorted, thanks for posting the reason - so others can look if they are having the same problem Quote
