How to setup Email on your iPhone/iPad

If you are having difficulty setting up your email account on your iPhone or iPad have a look through the steps below.
We have broken the guide down over the last 3 iterations of iOS to make it easier for you,  as there are some subtle changes with each iOS update.

Some Basic Settings explained

Account Type: POP or IMAP

IMAP is the default setting,  this won’t “Save” all emails to your iPhone, (unless you drag them to a different folder on your phone) you will only see what is currently on the mail server.
If you have your computer email client set to POP, this is usually the last 14 or 30 days worth of emails, depending on how you setup the POP account on your computer email client.

POP will grab its own copy from the server and keep it on your phone until you delete it. A good option if you use your phone or tablet more than / instead of a computer for your emails.

Email Address: the email address you are setting up (the one you have just created in your cPanel )

Username: same as the “Email Address” (Please Note: it is the FULL address and not just the first part)

Password: the one corresponding to this email address (the one you have just created in your cPanel )

Incoming Server: mail.yourdomain.com.au (please replace “yourdomain” with your actual domain name, i.e. the last part of your email address)

Outgoing Server: mail.yourdomain.com.au (please replace “yourdomain” with your actual domain name, i.e. the last part of your email address)

For the Outgoing SMTP Server there are 3 extra steps and you need to go back into the account settings to change these once your email account is setup. This is shown in the screenshots below.

1. Enable Password Authentication

2. Change the SMTP Port from “25” to “250”

3. Untick the “Use SSL” options.
