What do I put for both incoming and outgoing mail server?

For both incoming and outgoing mail server, put :
mail.yourdomain.com

If mail.yourdomain.com is not working (perhaps because you recently changed your domain's DNS), then you can replace it with the IP address or the hostname of the server which you are on.

The incoming port number is 110.
The outgoing port number is 26.

These settings are the same for your addon and parked domains (when you are checking email for them and need to set up your account in your email client).

What is my Server IP Address?

HostGator
You can find your server's IP address in the welcome email we sent to you.

You can also find that in your cPanel, in the left-hand menu listed under "Dedicated IP Address".

If you still cannot find the IP, please contact us via phone or live chat for the answer.
