Adding an email account to iPhone

Email User Guide for iPhone

Please note that depending on the version of software you are running on your iPhone, some images may look slightly different to your own but the settings will remain the same.

To start you will need the following information:

IMAP/POP - incoming server address (mail.yourhostname.co.uk)

Where yourhostname.co.uk is, replace with the domain that you have registered. For example if you registered joeblogs.co.uk the resulting address will be mail.joeblogs.co.uk

SMTP - outgoing server address (mail.yourhostname.co.uk)

This should be the same as the previous address

E-mail Address - address of the account you are setting up

This will be the address you chose when signing up in the following format: accountname@yourhostname.co.uk, replacing accountname with your account name and yourhostname.co.uk with the domain that you registered. For example info@joeblogs.co.uk

Username – Same as the full email address

Password – The password you received or chose upon making the account

Once you have this information tap the Settings icon from the home screen, scroll down to Mail, Contacts, Calendars and tap once
