Setting up your personal email account on your iPhone® lets you send and receive email using your phone. 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:

  • Have your full email address and account password ready.
  • Your incoming and outgoing server names are mail.yourdomain.com (where yourdomain.com is substitued with your domain name.) Your domain name is everything after the @ in your email address. (ie support@indesignfirm.com, indesignfirm.com is the domain name)
