Using an iPhone with Your Email

You can always use Web-Based Email to send and receive email messages. But you also can view your email with an email client. To access your email through an iPhone®, add an account with the settings outlined below. This article's screenshots use iPhone firmware 3.1.2, but previous versions use the same settings.


NOTE: iPod Touch users may also use these settings, but must connect via Wi-Fi to send and receive email.

Before You Start:

You need the names of your incoming and outgoing servers to set up email with a client.  Below are examples

  1. Incoming Server:  mail.yourdomain.com Outgoing Server:  smtp.yourdomain.com * replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name
  2. Continue with the procedures outlined below to set up your email client.
