Setup IMAP e-mail on iOS
Remember that, if you have an Enhanced account, you can use ActiveSync, to not only sync e-mails, but also contacts and events.
Also note that you can log on to Afterlogic WebMail from your iOS device and it shall offer an automated way (profile) of setting up e-mail as IMAP, along with calendars and contacts (CalDAV/CardDAV).
Here’s the step by step for setting up an IMAP account on iOS.
- Click on Settings
- Click on Mail, Contacts, Calendars
- Click on Add Account
- Click on Other
- Click on Add Mail Account
- Inform the following
- Name – The name you want on your outgoing email
- Email – Your full e-mail address
- Password – Your password
- Description – A description for your account
- Click on Next
- IMAP is selected by default
- Under Incoming Mail Server, enter as below:
- Host Name – imap.emailarray.com
- User Name – Your full e-mail address
- Password – Your password
- Under Outgoing Mail Server, enter as below:
- Host Name – smtp.emailarray.com
- User Name – Your full e-mail address
- Password – Your password
- Click on Next
- Click on Save
Note that IMAP is preferred over POP. If you want to set up the account as POP, you have to set it up manually. IMAP is a protocol made to support several devices accessing one same account, with all folders synced at our server, which also guarantees that our backups will be executed.
