Your Name: Insert your full name here. This name will appear on all your sent email.
Email Address: Put in your full email address, for example kevin@example.com

Server Information

Account Type: Select POP3 if you want the emails to be downloaded to Outlook. Select IMAP if you want the emails to remain on your hosting server.

Incoming Mail Server: If your domain is pointed to Dot Easy Australia the incoming mail server is mail.example.com. (replace example.com with your domain)

Outgoing Mail Server: This will be the same as your Incoming Mail Server, mail.example.com.  (replace example.com with your domain)

Login Information

User Name: This will be your full email address. For example, kevin@example.com
Password: This is the password for the email account you listed above, and not the password for your cPanel.
