How to set up mail on an iPhone

IMPORTANT: For security reasons, port 25 has been disabled for sending emails. If your email client is configured with this port, you will need to update it in order to continue sending emails. New recommended configuration:

At cdmon you have the option to configure your email account in different email clients, and now we explain how to do it for iPhone. 


 In this case, we use the account “demo@example.org” as an example; this email account must be replaced with the email address to be configured.

 
1.- Initial account setup 
  1. Access your iPhone Settings.
  2. Go to the Mail section (just below “Passwords”). 

 
  1. Tap  Accounts .
 

  1. Here, tap Add Account:
 
 
  1. Select the  Other  option.
 

  1.  Tap the  Add Mail Account  option.
 
 
2.- Main account details
 
On the next screen, you must enter the parameters related to the email account (name, email, password, and description) and tap   Next  .
  1. Name ( e.g.: Your company)
  2. Email address  (e.g.: demo@example.org)
  3. Password
  4. Description  (e.g.: Contact email)  
  1. If predefined data appears (username/password), delete it and write it again manually.


Next, select IMAP (recommended) or POP, depending on your preference. Difference between IMAP and POP3

Enter the following information (replacing "yourdomain.com" with the name of the hosting where you have the email addresses):

Incoming mail server (IMAP)
  1. Host name:  imap.yourdomain.com
  2. Username:  your full email address
  3. Password:  the password for your email account
 Outgoing mail server (SMTP)
  1. Host name:  smtp.yourdomain.com
  2. Username:  your full email address
  3. Password:  the password for your email account

  1. Although it appears as “Optional”,  it is mandatory  to enter the username and password for the outgoing server (SMTP); otherwise, you will not be able to send email.
 

  1. If a warning appears saying "Cannot Verify Server Identity", tap “ Continue ”.
  2. This warning may appear twice: once for the IMAP server and once for SMTP.

 
3.- Advanced email account options 
  1.  Once the account has been created, go back to Settings > Mail > Passwords and Accounts.
  2. Access the account you have just configured.


  1. Tap SMTP within the “Outgoing Mail Server” section.
 
  1. Next, you must change the SMTP port to 465 and enable the "Use SSL" option.
 
  1. Again, in the "Account" window, access the  Advanced  section.  

 
  1. In this last window, you must enable the SSL function and verify that the connection port is 993.
  2. Once the details have been checked, tap Account and then  Done .
 
 
In this last window, you must enable the SSL function and verify that the connection port is 993. Once the details have been checked, tap Account and then OK to finish the configuration. 

Once all the steps have been completed, your email account will be configured in your iPhone email client.
