Connect cPanel Email Account to Microsoft Outlook 2019

This article provides a guide for connecting a cPanel-hosted email account to Microsoft Outlook 2019 desktop or mobile application.

Getting Started

Before attempting to add your cPanel email account to your Microsoft Outlook 2019 application, you should get some information from your cPanel server.

Login to your cPanel account.
From your cPanel account, navigate to Email -> Email Accounts
For the account you are connecting to Outlook, click "Connect Devices"
You are directed to "Set Up Mail Client for “youremail@address.com”" page.
Scroll down until you reach "Mail Client Manual Settings"
You will need this information when configuring Outlook.
For this tutorial, we are only concerned with the information labeled, "Secure SSL/TLS Settings (Recommended)"
Copy "Incoming Server" values
Copy "Outgoing Server" values
Note "Username" is the email address, i.e, "youremail@address.com"
The "Password" is the same value as the email address password.

Configure Microsoft Outlook 2019

Open your Microsoft Outlook 2019 application.
Navigate to File -> Account Settings -> Add Account
Outlook will automatically check for Outlook and Microsoft Exchange-enabled email accounts by default.
Enter your email address and select "Setup Account Manually"
For Desktop Outlook client, select "POP3" or "IMAP"; for Mobile Outlook client, select "IMAP".
Enter the account details collected in Step #8 and Step #9 above.
After confirming, the Outlook client will display success message.
Your cPanel email has now been successfully configured for use with your Microsoft Outlook 2019 client.
