If you wish to set up your mailbox on Outlook, you need to make sure that:
You have an email account created
Your domain is pointing to our servers
You got the correct MX records set up
Then you may refer to this procedure:
Step 1 - Adding CNAME records
To have Outlook configured automatically, you will need to add the following CNAME records to your domain’s DNS zone:
Name (Host) | Target (Pointing to) | TTL |
autodiscover.domain.tld | autodiscover.mail.hostinger.com | 300 |
autoconfig.domain.tld | autoconfig.mail.hostinger.com | 300 |
NOTES:
Make sure to replace “domain.tld” with your domain
Any DNS record changes trigger propagation which can take up to 24 hours to fully propagate worldwide. You can check the propagation live via DNS Checker, as soon as the record is propagated, go to the next step.
Step 2 - Connect to Outlook
In Outlook, add a new email account. The path will differ depending on your Outlook version, make sure to check this article to find detailed guidance.
After inserting an email address and password, you only need to wait for some time (up to 10 minutes). Once completed, Outlook will be successfully connected to your mailbox at Hostinger 😊
