Looking to update the settings on an existing account? Check out our guide for that here.
Prior to setting up email on your device(s) you will need to have purchased cPanel shared hosting and set up any required mailbox(es) for your domain OR purchased and configured dedicated email hosting mailbox(es) for your domain.
Once you’ve created a mailbox using one of these methods you will be able to retrieve server settings from cPanel – if you’re using Dedicated Email Hosting this will be in the welcome email we send out once your mailbox is configured.
Setting up your account for the first time
1. Open the Mail (or ‘Email’) App and select Add new account. Enter your full email address and password, then tap MANUAL SETUP.
2. Tap IMAP Account as the type.
3. Enter in your account information.
- Email address: Your full email address needs to go here.
- Username: Your full email address, the same as above.
- Password: The password for your email account
- Incoming server: This is the same as your cPanel hostname, or Dedicated Email Webmail address (e.g. b1s1-1b-syd.hosting-services.net.au OR syd1.email-hosting.net.au)
- Security type: SSL
- Port: 993
4. Continue filling out the details.
- SMTP server: This should be identical to the Incoming server.
- Security type: SSL
- Port: 465
Make sure ‘Authentication required before sending emails’ is ticked.
- Username: Your full email address again.
- Password: Your email account password
Tap SIGN IN.
5. You should now be ready to send/receive emails!
