To configure iPhone or iPod to send and receive email on our servers using POP3 over SSL, you can follow the steps below. In this manual we are using example domain name and email address, so please make sure to replace:
|
username@domain-name-example.com with your email address domain-name-example.com with your domain name your_server.com with your server's host name (you can find your server's host name listed in the upper left corner of your Control Panel) |
1. On your device's home screen, tap Settings.
2. Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars (if you have an older version of iOS, the setting may be called just Mail).
3. Tap Add Account.

5. In the Name username@domain-name-example.com in the Address field.
In the Password field you need to enter the current password for this particular mailbox.
