Setting up an IMAP email account on an iPhone & iPad
by Sam Davis
When you receive your website, you will have a number of options with regards how you’d like your email configured and setup. Using IMAP is a popular option for people who want to use mail applications on different devices. Unlike POP mail, IMAP will make sure all mail is synchronised between, say – your phone, tablet, and laptop.
The following guide shows you how to install an IMAP email account on the Mail app on your iPhone & iPad.
Firstly, tap the Settings app.
Next scroll down and choose the option for Accounts & Passwords.
Tap Add Account.
Tap the option for Other.
Tap Add Mail Account.
Enter your Name, Email address, Email password and a Description for your email account. Then tap Next.
Choose the option for IMAP at the top. Then enter both the Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server settings provided. You will need to enter your Email address and Email password as the Username and Password for both servers. Once you have entered the correct settings, tap Next.
Tap Save to complete the setup.
