Setting up IMAP email on an iPhone

These instructions are for setting up email on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch with ans IMAP email account.

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. On the Settings screen, tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
  3. Tap Add Account.
  4. Tap Other.
  5. Tap Add Mail Account.
  6. Enter your Name, email Address, Password, and a short Description for your email. Tap Next.
  7. It is very important to NOT use SSL for either the incoming or outgoing server connection
  8. Use these settings for your Incoming Mail Server:
    IMAP
    Tap IMAP at the top.
    Host Name mail.yourdomainname
    User Name Enter your full email address.
    Password Enter your email account password.
  9. Use these settings for your Outgoing Mail Server:
    SMTP (Outgoing Mail Server)
    Host Name mail.yourdomainname
    User Name Enter your full email address.
    Password Enter your email account password.
  10. Tap Next, and then tap Save.

That's it. On your device, go to Mail (it's usually in the row at the bottom of your screen). If everything is working OK, you should see some email messages. To make sure you can send messages, go ahead and compose an email and send it to yourself.

If you're not receiving email messages or you can't send messages, there are a few things that can happen during the setup process. We'll help you investigate and fix them, but the most likely problem is that SSL is being used for incoming and/or outgoing connections.


add comment

It is simple to add a comment. Enter your email address and a 6-15 character password. If you have not previously enrolled, a confirmation will be sent to that address. If you forget your password (or do not have one yet) simply enter a new one that you will need in order to confirm your post. Your email address will never be exposed on the site.
