How to configure a Cpanel email account to receive email on your an Iphone

If like me you use your Cpanel email accounts for your domains with your hosting provider then you probably don’t want to miss an all important email from a client. Below is a quick setup guide to get you started

Assumptions:

You have already created a new email account in your hosting providers cpanel.

Instructions

From the main Iphone screen, click Settings.

Under Settings, select Mail.

Select Add Account

Select Other as the type of account.

Enter the requested information:

Name: the name of the mail user

Address: the email address of the mail user

Description: a description of the mail user

Host Name: enter the mail server mail.yourdomain.com (incoming mail server & external mail server)

User Name: enter the full email address (incoming mail server and external mail server) E.g. support@yourdomain.com

Password: enter the users password (incoming mail server and external mail server)

Click Save.

If you see a message that says “Cannot Connect Using SSL”, click “Yes” when asked to setup the account without SSL.

Click “Save”.

Click Settings for the account you just created.

Click Advanced.

Set Incoming “Uses SSL” and Outgoing Use SSL to “OFF”.

Under Incoming settings, click Authentication and select Password.

Under Outgoing settings, click Authentication and select Password.

Now send an email to the new email address you created and wait for your Iphone to ping with a new email
