The most easy way to configure your mail client is to download to your computer and run the "Mail Client Automatic Configuration Script" available in your Cpanel cPanel > Email Accounts > Set Up Mail Client.
But if this way is not available for you for some reasonsreason, here is the most commonly used setup with SSL encryption for email exchange, just replace "domain.com" with your actual domain name.

IMAP (POP3 is considered to be outdated, while IMAP is more stable, plus IMAP allows you to store emails server-side)
incoming server:
mail.domain.com
outgoing server:
mail.domain.com
username:
youraddress@domain.com
password:
The password you made in cPanel for the above email account when you created the email account.
...
Secure Password Authentication:
Select "This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)"
My Server Requires Authentication:
ONOn
Outgoing mail (SMTP) port:
465

You may find it necessary to use your ISP's outgoing mail server if you can receive mail, but not send it. Call your ISP and ask them for their SMTP outgoing mailserver and other SMTP settings, and use their SMTP settings even if they contradict our settings recommended above.
