Mobile/Desktop Apps

Automatic configuration

iOS and OS X only: Open this configuration link on your iOS device or on your Mac desktop to easily set up mail (IMAP/SMTP), Contacts, and Calendar. Your username is your whole email address.

Manual configuration

Use the following settings when you set up your email on your phone, desktop, or other device:

In addition to setting up your email, you’ll also need to set up contacts and calendar synchronization separately.

As an alternative to IMAP you can also use the POP protocol: choose POP as the protocol, port 995, and SSL or TLS security in your mail client. The SMTP settings and usernames and passwords remain the same. However, we recommend you use IMAP instead.

Exchange/ActiveSync settings

On iOS devices, devices on this compatibility list, or using Outlook 2007 or later on Windows 7 and later, you may set up your mail as an Exchange or ActiveSync server. However, we’ve found this to be more buggy than using IMAP as described above. If you encounter any problems, please use the manual settings above.

Your device should also provide a contacts list and calendar that syncs to this box when you use this method.
