Learn how to set up an email account on an Apple iPhone, iPod or iPad.
prerequisites
You have an email address set up.
Step 1
Tap on Settings.
Step 2
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendar.
step 3
Tap on Add account ...
Step 4
Tap Others.
Step 5
Tap Add mail account.
Step 6
Enter your name in Name, your email address in E-mail and your password in Password. You are free to choose the description.
Step 7
Select the account type: POP3 or IMAP.
Why is this attitude particularly important? If you only want to manage your emails locally on your mobile device, POP3 is the right choice. On retrieval, all emails are deleted from the server and can no longer be retrieved with another email program. Many devices are already preset for this.
We recommend that you set up the mailbox on mobile devices using IMAP. The emails remain on the server even after retrieval.
If you want to use POP3, use pop.ionos.com as "Hostname" in the following step under Server for incoming emails.
Step 8
Enter the data of your email account.
| Setting | Your input |
|---|---|
| Name | The future sender name displayed. Input is arbitrary. |
| Address | Your complete email address |
| Description | Enter is optional. The email account will be displayed on the device under the description selected here. |
| Setting | Your input |
|---|---|
| Hostname | imap.ionos.com |
| Username | Your complete email address |
| Password | The password you chose when setting up your email account |
| Setting | Your input |
|---|---|
| Hostname | smtp.ionos.com |
| Username | Your complete email address |
| Password | The password you chose when setting up your email account |
Please note:
- The email account is automatically set up with SSL encryption. The device performs the correct configuration in the background. You no longer have to set anything manually.
- SSL activation can also be checked at a later date. For SMTP, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar >[Select Account] > Account > SMTP. You can access the SSL settings for IMAP and POP via Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar >[Select Account] > Account > Advanced.
