Quick answer

Connect Outlook to your mailbox in a few minutes.

  • Professional email improves trust. Use IMAP to keep messages synced across devices.
  • Deliverability improves when SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records are set correctly.
  • Consistent sending habits help mailbox providers trust your domain.

Key details

Outlook supports IMAP and SMTP settings from your SiteHosts account.

We recommend IMAP to keep your messages synced across devices.

If Outlook cannot auto-configure, add the settings manually from your dashboard.

Step-by-step

  1. Open Outlook and choose Add Account.
  2. Enter your email address and select manual setup.
  3. Choose IMAP, then enter the server details.

Quick checklist

  • Confirm server settings in your dashboard
  • Test sending and receiving
  • Add SPF/DKIM if emails hit spam
  • Save your IMAP and SMTP settings somewhere safe
