Before you connect
What you need
Your email address and password
The mailbox you created under Email Accounts in cPanel. Username is your full email address.
Your mail hostname (usually auto-detected)
mail.yourdomain.com on 993 works in most setups. For SSL, HostGator points clients at the server name, like gator1234.hostgator.com, listed in your Customer Portal and cPanel.

Under the hood
Server settings we auto-fill
You never type these. We detect them from your address and verify them live against HostGator’s servers — they’re here for the curious.
- IMAP
- mail.yourdomain.com:993
- SMTP
- mail.yourdomain.com:465
- Encryption
- SSL/TLS
HostGator runs cPanel, and cPanel 102 and later ships CalDAV (cpdavd). We probe for the calendar on connect: if your gator server answers, it attaches; email works fully either way.
Let Claude read your HostGator inbox
