To configure your Microsoft Outlook application on macOS to send and receive email using our servers via IMAP and SMTP over SSL/TLS, follow the steps below.

Before You Start:

  • Server Host: Replace mail.your-server.com with your server's host name (listed in your Control Panel). For example, if your server is s777.sureserver.com, your Server Host would be mail.s777.sureserver.com.
