Connect a cPanel / hosting mailbox (IMAP)

If your info@yourdomain.com lives on a hosting plan (cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin…), you can connect it to All Your Inboxes over IMAP: no forwarding to configure — the system watches the mailbox directly. Type the address and we find the server; the only thing you need is the password.

1 · Open the Advanced connection

  1. Panel → Inboxes → Connect inbox → Advanced.
  2. Type the email address (e.g. info@yourdomain.com).
  3. The system discovers the IMAP server automatically — no host name, port, or security setting to enter by hand.

2 · Enter the password

  1. Type the mailbox password and press Connect.
  2. This is the WEBMAIL / mailbox password — not the password you use for your hosting panel. They're usually different.
  3. Once connected, the inbox appears in the panel and new mail starts landing at your notification address.

Don't know the password? Here's where it lives

  1. Log in to cPanel → Email Accounts → click Connect Devices on the address's row.
  2. The page shows the username and server details under “Mail Client Manual Settings”; if you don't remember the password, reset it via Manage → New Password on the same row.
  3. If you reset it, remember to update the phone/desktop mail apps that use the same mailbox.

Replying (SMTP) — same screen

  1. Sending is configured from the same place on the Advanced screen: on most hosting, the IMAP password works for SMTP too and nothing extra is needed.
  2. If the mailbox is on Gmail, Yahoo, or Yandex, the normal password will NOT work for sending — those providers require an “app password”. The screen links you straight to each provider's app-password page; create one there and paste it.
  3. With SMTP connected, just hit Reply on a notification; the reply goes out from the mailbox's own address (details: /docs/replying).

Something wrong? Real errors and their fixes

“Authentication failed”

Nine times out of ten: you're typing the hosting-panel password, not the mailbox password. Set a fresh one via cPanel → Email Accounts → Manage → New Password and use that. Also make sure the username is the FULL address (info@yourdomain.com, not just “info”).

The server couldn't be discovered

Your domain's DNS may be missing the standard mail records. Note the “Incoming Server” value shown on cPanel → Email Accounts → Connect Devices — a manual server field appears on the screen, enter it there. If the problem persists, the Deliverability page shows what's missing in DNS (see /docs/deliverability-guide).

Connected, but old mail doesn't show up

That's expected: the system watches the mailbox from the moment it's connected and notifies you about NEW mail. It doesn't migrate your archive — send a fresh mail after connecting to test.

I can't connect my personal Outlook/Hotmail here

Correct — Microsoft switched off password-based IMAP for personal accounts entirely, so this screen can't work for those mailboxes. For Outlook/Hotmail use forwarding + Connect Microsoft instead: /docs/outlook-forwarding.
