Setting Up Email in Outlook

IMAP and SMTP settings for connecting a Traxio-hosted mailbox to Outlook.

Before starting, make sure the mailbox has already been created in DirectAdmin — see Creating an Email Account if not.

  1. In Outlook, go to File → Add Account and enter the full email address.
  2. Choose manual/advanced setup, then select IMAP.
  3. For incoming (IMAP) server, enter mail.yourdomain.com, port 993, SSL enabled.
  4. For outgoing (SMTP) server, enter mail.yourdomain.com, port 465, SSL enabled.
  5. Enter the full email address as the username, and the mailbox password.

Replace 'yourdomain.com' with your actual domain throughout. If Outlook reports a certificate warning, double-check the server address is typed exactly as shown in DirectAdmin's email account details.
