How to Configure iPhone Mail
This article explains how to configure the iPhone Mail app to access your emails.
Note: These instructions utilise the IMAP protocol, which is intended for mobile device and ad-hoc access to email. In order to preserve your hosting storage, it is highly recommended that you regularly download your mail to your main computer using the POP3 protocol with the “Leave mail on server for x days” setting enabled.Settings
Before we proceed, note that a summary of the email configuration information is available on our Email Settings page.
