Step-by-step e-mail configuration for iPhone and iPad

If you have created an e-mail address in the Control Panel, you can configure this account on your iPhone/iPad.

E-mail account administration

Open Settings and then go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

Configuration

Enter your name for the new account. This is also the name recipients will see when you send them an e-mail.

Enter your full e-mail address and the corresponding password, that you defined in the Control Panel when setting up the e-mail address. Select Manual setup.

Then enter a name for this account. This name will be displayed in the account list.

Choosing the account type: POP3 or IMAP 

Now choose between a POP3 or IMAP account. 

Using IMAP saves your e-mails on the server. Each time you read an e-mail, a copy is downloaded from the server. 

Using POP3 downloads and saves your e-mails to your smartphone. The messages are then deleted from the server. This way, you can also read your e-mails offline at any time, for example if you are on the train. 

If you are not certain choose IMAP.

IMAP

Enter the full e-mail address in Username and the corresponding password in the field below.

Enter imap.mail.hostpoint.ch as IMAP server.

POP3

Enter the full e-mail address in Username and the corresponding password in the field below.

Enter pop.mail.hostpoint.ch as POP3 server.

Outgoing mail server 

Enter asmtp.mail.hostpoint.ch as SMTP server. 

Enter the full e-mail address in Username and the corresponding password in the field below.

This is mandatory; otherwise SMTP authentication will not work and you will not be able to send e-mails.

Finish

Once you have filled in the correct information for all fields, you can check the settings by clicking Continue. Then click on Save to finish setting up the e-mail address. 

Encryption

Open the account you just created. Select SMTP and then Advanced.
