Have you set up an e-mail address in the Hostpoint Control Panel and now want to configure it in Microsoft Outlook 2016? These instructions will show you how to do so step-by-step.
E-mail account administration
- Click “File” at the top left and then “Add Account”.
Start manual configuration
- To set up the e-mail address yourself, go to “Manual setup or additional server types” and then click “Next”.
Choosing the account type
Now choose between an IMAP or POP3 account.
- IMAP
- Using IMAP saves your e-mails on the server. Each time you read an e-mail, a copy is downloaded from the server.
- POP3
- Using POP3 downloads and saves your e-mails to your device. The messages are then deleted from the server. This way, you can read your emails even when you don't have an internet connection.
If you are not certain choose IMAP.
Set up e-mail account
- Enter a name for your account (this name is shown in the account list) and the sender name that recipients of your e-mails will see.
- Enter your full e-mail address.
- For “Incoming mail Server”, enter imap.mail.hostpoint.ch for IMAP or pop.mail.hostpoint.ch for POP3.
- Enter asmtp.mail.hostpoint.ch for the “Outgoing mail server (SMTP)”.
- Enter the full e-mail address as “User Name” and the corresponding password below.
- Now go to “More Settings” and click the “Outgoing Server” tab.
- Always enable authentication for your outgoing mail server. The simplest option is to select “Use same settings as my incoming mail server”.
- Then click the “Advanced” tab to check the encryption settings.
| Account and connection type | Port |
|---|---|
| IMAP with connection type SSL | 993 |
| IMAP with connection type TLS | 143 |
| POP3 with connection type SSL | 995 |
| POP3 with connection type TLS | 110 |
| SMTP with connection type SSL | 465 |
| SMTP with connection type TLS | 587 |
- Click “OK” to confirm the settings and then “Next”. The account settings will then be checked, and you will see a success notification if the account has been set up properly.
→ The e-mail account has been set up. You can now send and receive e-mails with Outlook.
