How to add your email to an iPhone or iPad

  1. Open Settings › Apps › Mail › Mail Accounts › Add Account (on older iOS versions: Settings › Mail › Accounts › Add Account).
  2. Tap Other › Add Mail Account.
  3. Enter your name, full email address, password and a description, then tap Next.
  4. Make sure IMAP is selected at the top.
  5. Under both Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server, enter:
    • Host name: your server hostname (or mail.yourdomain.co.uk)
    • User name: your full email address
    • Password: your mailbox password
  6. Tap Next, wait for the account to verify, then tap Save.

If it won't verify

Go back to the account settings and check:

  • Incoming: SSL on, port 993
  • Outgoing (SMTP): SSL on, port 465, authentication Password

Using your server hostname instead of mail.yourdomain.co.uk avoids certificate warnings.
