Setting up IMAP keeps your email in sync across every device you use. Here’s how to add it on an iPhone or Android phone.
1. Open Your Phone’s Settings
On iOS: Settings > Passwords & Accounts. On Android: your Email or Accounts app.
2. Add Account
Choose Add Account, then “Other” (iOS) or “Add Mail Account” (Android).
3. Enter Your Email Details
Enter your full email address and password. When asked for server type, choose IMAP.
4. Enter Server Settings
We’ll confirm your exact host details separately, since these vary by hosting setup, but typically:
- Incoming server (IMAP): port 993, SSL enabled
- Outgoing server (SMTP): port 465, SSL enabled
5. Save and Sync
Save, and allow a minute for the account to sync. Send yourself a test email to confirm both sending and receiving work.
If the account won’t verify, the most common cause is a typo in the password or an incorrect port/security setting. Message us your device type and we’ll send exact settings for your setup.
