How to set up shared hosting email in Mail for Windows 10

Once you’ve configured and activated your HostPapa shared hosting service, you can proceed to set up your email account in Mail for Windows 10.

To access webmail on your shared hosting plan, you can do that via https://webmail.yourdomain.com or this one https://yourdomain.com/webmail from any browser.

Open the Start menu and launch Mail, or click the envelope in the taskbar. The first time you run the app, you’ll see a welcome screen that looks like this:

Windows Mail startup

Click + Add account to get started. In the Choose an account panel, select Other account.

Other account option

Enter your email address, sender name, and email account password, then click Sign in.

Account details

Mail will attempt to automatically retrieve your server details. If successful, your account will be set up and your email downloaded.

Account configured

If you’ve previously configured an email account in Mail, first click the Gear icon at the bottom of the screen to open the Settings menu.

Settings menu

Now click Manage Accounts, then Add account.

You can proceed to configure your account using the steps above.

Manual account configuration

If Mail is unable to locate your server or email account automatically after three attempts, you will be able to manually configure your server details.

Advanced settings

Enter the following:

  1. Email address: Your full email address.
  2. User name: Your email account user name.
  3. Password: Your email server password.
  4. Account name: Provide a name that will allow you to distinguish this email account from others in the Mail app.
  5. Send your messages using this name: Enter a sender name.
  6. Incoming email server: For POP or IMAP accounts, use mail.yourdomain.com (changing yourdomain.com for your registered domain).
  7. Account type: Select POP3 or IMAP4 from the dropdown menu.
  8. Outgoing (SMTP) mail server: For POP or IMAP accounts, use  mail.yourdomain.com (changing yourdomain.com for your registered domain).

Ensure all boxes are checked at the bottom of the panel, then click Sign In to complete configuration.
