What it does
Enter the email address (e.g.you@yourdomain.com). The tool looks up the cPanel server that hosts the account and returns:
- Incoming mail (IMAP): server hostname, port (typ. 993), security (SSL/TLS), authentication.
- Incoming mail (POP): server hostname, port (typ. 995), security (SSL/TLS) — for clients that prefer POP.
- Outgoing mail (SMTP): server hostname, port (typ. 465 or 587), security, authentication.
- Username: the full email address, not just the local part.
- Apple Mail / iOS Mail
- Microsoft Outlook (Windows + macOS)
- Mozilla Thunderbird
- Generic IMAP / SMTP
When to use it
- Setting up a fresh mail client on a new device.
- Re-adding an account after a password reset.
- Troubleshooting connection errors (the helper’s settings are authoritative; if your client has a different value, that’s the bug).
Behind the scenes
Mailhelper reads the same lookup the cPanel server finder uses, plus the standard cPanel mail port conventions. It doesn’t need or store your password; the password comes from the cPanel email account settings, which you set when you created the address.Need a hand?
