6. Enter the following details:

Name: Your name as you want it to appear to recipients.
Email: Your full email address, e.g. [email protected]
Password: Your email password.
Description: A label for this account, e.g. Work Email.

Tap Next.

 

7. When prompted, select IMAP at the top of the screen (recommended over POP).

Under Incoming Mail Server:
Host Name: mail.yourdomain.com (e.g. mail.example.com)
Username: Your full email address, e.g. [email protected]
Password: Your email password.

Outgoing Mail Server:
Host Name: mail.yourdomain.com (e.g. mail.example.com)
Username: Your full email address, e.g. [email protected]
Password: Your email password.

Tap Next. Verification may take a minute or two.

 

8. Verify SMTP (Outgoing) Settings

This step is important — if outgoing mail is not working, these settings are usually the cause.

Go to SettingsMailAccounts → tap your newly added account → tap the account row showing your email address → scroll down and tap SMTP (under Outgoing Mail Server).

Tap your mail server under Primary Server and confirm the following:
Use SSL: ON
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 465

Tap Done.

 

9. Verify Incoming Server Settings

Go back to the account screen and tap Advanced at the bottom.

Confirm the following:
Use SSL: ON
Server Port: 993 (IMAP) or 995 (POP3)

 

Port Reference

IMAP (recommended): 993 (SSL/TLS)
POP3: 995 (SSL/TLS)
SMTP (outgoing): 465 (SSL/TLS)

Once the email has been added successfully, you can access your newly added email account from the Mail app.
