To configure a hosting mail ID in Outlook, you'll need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Set up your hosting mail account

• Go to your hosting provider's control panel (e.g., cPanel) and navigate to the "Email" or "Mail" section.
• Create a new email account or select an existing one.
• Note down the following details:
  • Email address (e.g., [your_email_address]@your_domain.com)
  • Username (usually the same as the email address)
  • Password
  • Server settings (IMAP or POP3, and the server addresses)

Step 2: Set up Outlook

• Open Outlook and go to the "File" menu.
• Click on "Add Account" and select "Manual setup or additional server types".
• Choose "POP or IMAP" and click "Next".
• Enter the following details:
  • Your Name: Your name as you want it to appear in the "From" field.
  • Email Address: Your hosting mail ID (e.g., [your_email_address]@your_domain.com).
  • Account Type: POP3 or IMAP (depending on your hosting provider's settings).
  • Incoming mail server: The server address provided by your hosting provider (e.g., mail.your_domain.com).
  • Outgoing mail server (SMTP): The server address provided by your hosting provider (e.g., mail.your_domain.com).
  • Username: Your hosting mail ID (e.g., [your_email_address]@your_domain.com).
  • Password: Your hosting mail password.

Step 3: Configure Outlook settings

• Click "More Settings" and navigate to the "Outgoing Server" tab.
• Check the box next to "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication".
• Select "Use same settings as my incoming mail server".
• Click "OK" to save the changes.

Step 4: Test your connection

• Click "Next" to test your connection.
• If everything is set up correctly, you should see a success message.

Additional tips:

• Make sure to replace "your_domain.com" with your actual domain name.
• If you're using IMAP, you may need to configure the "IMAP Path Prefix" setting in Outlook.
• If you're having trouble connecting, check your hosting provider's documentation for specific settings or contact their support team for assistance.

By following these steps, you should be able to configure your hosting mail ID in Outlook and start using it to send and receive emails.
