Setting Up Email on Apple iOS

This article will configure an IMAP account on your iOS device. We recommend that you use IMAP when configuring and managing your hosted mail account with an email client.

Step 1.   From the home screen on your device, tap Settings, and then tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

   

Step 2.   Tap Add Account > Other > Add Mail Account.

  • Email – Enter your entire email address (for example, customer@pine-net.com).
  • Password – Enter the password for your email account.
  • Description – Enter a descriptive name for the account (for example, Pine-Net). This description will only be visible to you.

Step 4.   After the device looks up your account, tap IMAP at the top of the screen.

Step 5.   Enter the following information in the Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server fields:

  • Host Name – Enter the following secure server name: mail.pine-net.com
