Setting up Email:

1. Create your email addresses:
If you haven't already, click on the "Email Accounts" link in cPanel to create your addresses. Simply click "Email Accounts" to add your email addresses, and "Forwarders" to add your forwarded addresses.

2. Access your email:
The easiest way to access your Email is WebMail.


Or for advanced users, if you have email software like Outlook, Mac Mail, Thunderbird etc. or you want to receive your email on your iPhone, Android or Blackberry, then use the info below (note we recommend using the secure encypted email server as described below):

Incoming mail server: host.oliserver.com
Login Username: user+domain-name
for example, jane@olicentral.com would use login ID: jane+olicentral.com
Other incoming server notes:
  • use the password you created for the Email Account in the cPanel
  • require SSL Encryption
  • make sure incoming port is set to 995 (could be in advanced or server settings)

    Outgoing mailserver (SMTP): Your ISP's outgoing server name
    It's recommended to use your ISP's SMTP server. Your ISP is who connects you to the Internet (Comcast, Verizon, etc.). Using your local ISP's SMTP server can prevent potential firewall issues (some ISPs don't like their customers using a remote SMTP server). Contact your ISP for the proper outgoing mail (SMTP) settings.

    Or, if you can't use your ISP's SMTP server, use: host.oliserver.com
  • require authentication using same login as your incoming server
  • require SSL Encryption
  • make sure outgoing port is set to 465 (could be in advanced or server settings)
