When you want to set up Business or Enterprise Email on your iPhone using IMAP or POP. This article explains how to configure the account in the iOS Mail app.
Locating the Email Client Configuration settings Before you can start configuring your Email Account, you will first need to understand and find the settings needed for the configuration as follows.
Non-SSL Hostnames If you are configuring your Email Client using your branded hostnames, you will not be able to use the SSL ports. In this case, you can use the following hostnames:
Outbound Server SMTP smtp.domainname.com Port 25/587 Inbound Server IMAP imap.domainname.com Port 143 Inbound Server POP pop.domainname.com Port 110
The domainname.com in the above example needs to be replaced with your domain name. For example, if your domain name is example.com, the above-mentioned hostnames will be as follows: smtp.example.com imap.example.com pop.example.com
SSL Hostnames Our Email infrastructure supports TLS/SSL configurations on an Email Client too. We support STARTTLS on SMTP and SSL on IMAP and POP. Based on the product you have with us, you can use one of the following configurations.
Business Email Our Business Email infrastructure is set up in two data centers. Depending upon where your order is provisioned, you will need to use one of the following hostnames.
Configuration 1 Outbound Server SMTP (STARTTLS) smtp.mailhostbox.com Port 25/587 Inbound Server IMAP (SSL) imap.mailhostbox.com Port 993 Inbound Server POP (SSL) pop.mailhostbox.com Port 995
Configuration 2 Outbound Server SMTP (STARTTLS) us2.smtp.mailhostbox.com Port 25/587 Inbound Server IMAP (SSL) us2.imap.mailhostbox.com Port 993 Inbound Server POP (SSL) us2.pop.mailhostbox.com Port 995
Note: -- By default, all new orders are required to use Configuration 2. -- However, if you have old orders, you may need to use Configuration 1.
Enterprise Email If you have the Enterprise Email with us, the configuration is pretty straightforward as follows.
Outbound Server SMTP (STARTTLS) us3.smtp.mailhostbox.com Port 25/587 Inbound Server IMAP (SSL) us3.imap.mailhostbox.com Port 993 Inbound Server POP (SSL) us3.pop.mailhostbox.com Port 995
Configuring your Email Client Go to your iPhone settings, and click on Accounts, and select Add Account. Select Other. On the next screen, select Add Mail Account. Enter your account details such as your name, username and password. Select POP or IMAP incoming protocol based on your requirement.
That's it! You have successfully configured your Email Account on Apple iPhone.
