Setup Email Accounts on iPhone

It’s great to be able to access your email on the move. This guide will provide a step-by-step guide on how to add your email account with IMAP to the Mail app on your iPhone.

Kindly follow these instructions in order to set up your webmail on your iPhone.

Before you get started, you need to have your email settings and password handy. To get the correct settings for your email account, log in to your Verpex control panel, go to the Email tab, and select Email Configuration from the side menu.

1. Select Settings from the home screen of your iPhone, scroll down and click Passwords and Accounts
2. Select Mail, Contacts, Calendars
3. Click Add Account and click Other from the appeared list
4. Select Add Mail Account. Specify the following records in the New Account menu

Name: Your name will appear as the sender's name
Address: Your email address that was created in your cPanel
Password: Password for the email address you are using(the one used in webmail)
Description: We recommend your email address( a name on account of your device, it could be anything)

5. Click Next and choose protocol type (IMAP or POP3). Input the appropriate details stated below in the 'New Account' page for the Incoming and Outgoing servers. We advise you to use IMAP.

Incoming server:

Host Name: server your account is hosted on(mail.yourdomainname.com)
Username: Your email account
Password: Password for the email address you are using(the one used in webmail)

Outgoing server:

Host Name: server your account is hosted on(mail.yourdomainname.com)
Username: Email address
Password: Password for the email address you are using(the one used in webmail)
The settings are the same for IMAP and POP3 at this step.

6. Click Next to enable Notes and Mail, if you use IMAP Click on Save and wait for the verification to be completed
7. Once the verification is completed, choose your newly created account on the page you have been redirected to
8. Choose Advanced at the bottom of the page
9. Check if your inbox behaviours are set up correctly to make sure your emails are saved to the right place. You need to select the following folders on the server:
   Drafts box: Drafts
   Sent box: Sent
   Deleted box: Trash
   Archive box: Archive
   If no folder, or a different folder, is selected, tap the mailbox and select the correct folder on the server.
   Note: If the folder you are looking for is not listed, log in to Webmail and place an email in the missing folder. Then try again, it should now show up in the list. Set the correct mailbox behaviours for folders on the server

If you set an IMAP connection you need to use port 993 (with SSL) or port 143 (without SSL). Set IMAP Path Prefix to INBOX. If you chose POP3 you need to use port 995 (with SSL) or port 110 (without SSL). For the Outgoing Server (SMTP) select port 465 (with SSL) or port 25 (without SSL):

To configure additional settings for the outgoing server, you will need to return to the previous menu and then go to Outgoing Mail Server by clicking on the hostname of the server:

Once you have verified your settings, your account is active and ready to use. You can now send and receive emails from your Mail app on your iPhone.
