To set up your email account in a client such as Outlook, Mac Mail, or Thunderbird, you first need to locate your connection settings in cPanel.

This article assumes you have already [set up an email account in your control panel](/knowledgebase/cpanel-how-tos/how-to-create-an-email-account-in-cpanel). If you have not done that yet, start there first.

## Finding your email settings

1. [Log in to cPanel](/knowledgebase/cpanel-how-tos/how-to-login-to-cpanel) and go to **Email > Email Accounts**.
2. Find the email account you want to configure, then click **Connect Devices** (or **Configure Email Client** in older cPanel versions).

   ![The Connect Devices page, with automatic configuration scripts and manual settings](https://kb-cdn.kualo.com/46/31/4631de9ef5d75aa916ce440d474c446c4c9e502d.png)

3. At the top of the page you will find a set of **Automatic Configuration Scripts**. If your email client supports them, download and run the appropriate script to configure your account automatically.
4. If you prefer to configure your client manually, scroll down to the **Mail Client Manual Settings** and use the **Secure SSL/TLS Settings** - these are the recommended values.

## Manual configuration tips

When entering the settings into your email client, keep the following in mind:

- Always choose the **SSL/TLS** option for both incoming (IMAP or POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) connections.
- Your outgoing (SMTP) connection must use **password authentication** - use your full email address as the username and your email account password.
- Avoid using the non-SSL port options shown on the page; the secure settings protect your login credentials in transit.
