Apple iPad with iOS 9 (IMAP & SMTP over SSL)

To configure iPad to receive and send email on our servers using IMAP and SMTP 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:

[email protected] with your email address 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.

Enter [email protected] in the Email field (replace [email protected] with your actual email address).
In the Password field you need to enter the current password for this particular mailbox.
In the Description field you need to add a short description of your account in your email client. This name would show up only in your own mail program. You can set a name such as "Work Account", "Sales mail" or your name, for example.

For Host Name in the Incoming Mail Server section use mail.your_server.com (replace your_server.com with your server name).
