What do I need to configure e-mail on an iPhone or iPad?

First, your domain name must be linked to your hosting package. Furthermore, the domain name must be accessible via the internet. In order to be able to receive and send e-mails, you need to create an e-mail account. 

Configuring e-mail on an iPhone or iPad

The following steps are carried out on an iPhone or iPad. The manual is written based on the iOS 8 operating system. If you are using another version of iOS, the settings may be somewhat different.

In addition, for this instruction, we used our secured mailserver we recommend. These settings will only work with our web hosting and reseller hosting packages. If you purchase your own VPS or Dedicated server from us, please click here for the proper port settings.
