Configure IMAP for iPhone or iPad

The iPhone and iPad supports IMAP. 
IMAP will allow you to retrieve emails and folders from SmarterMail and leave the emails on the server.


Follow these steps to create a SmarterMail IMAP connection to an iOS device with Firmware 5.0.x:
  1. On the iPhone, tap Settings.
  2. Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
  3. Tap Add Account.
  4. Tap Other.
  5. Tap Add Mail Account.
  6. Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
  7. Click Next.
  8. Ensure IMAP is selected.
  9. Enter your incoming mail server information:
  10. Hostname is generally mail.yourdomainname.com. If you aren't sure, contact your email hosting company
  11. Username is your full email address
  12. Password is the same password used to access webmail.
