How to Setup Your Email Account in Control Panel

Email accounts can also be setup via Windows Control Panel. Here’s how:

1. In the search box next to Start on the Taskbar, type control panel. Select Control Panel from the list of results.

2. Once Control Panel is open, type mail in the search bar and press enter

3. Click Mail to display the window for mail setup.

4. Click Email Accounts.

5. Click “New” since you will set up a new email account.

6. Click on the button that says “Manual setup or additional server types”. Then click “Next”.

7. Choose a Service. POP or IMAP is selected by default and this is correct. Just continue and click “Next”.

Fill up the information needed:

8. Your full name
9. Your email address
10. Choose your preferred settings, POP or IMAP
11. Type mail.yourdomain.com [ex: mail.imanila.com.ph (“imanila.ph” is our domain.)]
12. Type mail.yourdomain.com [ex: mail.imanila.com.ph (“imanila.ph” is our domain.)]
13. Your full email address
14. Your email account password
15. Click More Settings to view additional configurations

9. Select the Outgoing Server tab and select “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication”.

10. Select the Advanced tab and select your preferred encryption

NOTE (for POP only): Checking “Leave a copy of messages on the server” will simply save your emails on the webmail/server. If this is unchecked, all your emails will be downloaded to your Outlook. This is OPTIONAL, but for security purposes, we suggest having this checked to have a backup of your emails on the server.
