iPhone / iPod / iPad Email Setup

Here are the steps needed for iPhone/iPod/iPad Email set up to be used with the Hostek.com mail servers:

NOTE: In this example, I am using the domain name of yourdomain.com. Be sure to replace yourdomain.com with your domain name below. Also, you will want to use mail.yourdomain.com in place of mail10.hostek.com in the example.

First, go to Settings and turn Wi-Fi OFF (turn back on after completing all steps below)

Go to Mail, Contact, Calendars to begin the tutorial.

Step One

- Tap "Add Mail Account"

Step Two

- Tap "Other"

Step Three

- Tap Mail Account, and then enter your Name, Email address, Password and Description

- Tap Next

- Choose IMAP or POP (sample image in step 4 is based on IMAP; POP is the same except for the Port in Advanced)

Step Four

Enter your Incoming Mail Server Information

- Host Name: mail.yourdomain.com

- Username: (enter your full email address)

- Password: (enter the password you assigned to this account)

Step Five

Under "Outgoing Mail Server", enter the following:

- Host Name: mail.your_domain.com

- Username: (enter your full email address)

- Password: (enter the password you assigned to this account)

Step Six

- Tap "Save" (iPhone will attempt to verify the account information... this can take 1-2 minutes initially)

- NOTE: You may get a message about "Secure Connection Failed"... just hit Continue (you'll likely then get the same message again, related to SMTP this time)... just hit Continue again.

Step Seven

- After the account is setup, go back into the account.

Step Eight

Under the "Outgoing Mail Server" section tap on "SMTP"

Step Nine

Under "Primary Mail Server", enter the following:

- Set Use SSL to ON

- Set Authentication to "Password"

- Change Server Port to 465

**NOTE: If you are on a VPS Mail Server, and there is no SSL Certificate for your mail server, than you will keep SSL switched OFF

Tap on the "SMTP" at the top-left to go back, then tap "Email Address" at the top-left to go back once more.

Step Ten

Tap on Advanced

- Set Use SSL to ON

- Change Server Port to 993 for IMAP, 110 for POP.

Congratulations! Your new email account setup is complete. You may now re-enable your 'Wi-Fi' setting.
