Summary

This article will show you how to setup email on your iOS based device. This process will work on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. While the screen shots are from an iPhone running iOS, the same settings should work on any iOS device.

To get the correct settings for your email account, log in to your HostGator hosting account and open the Email Manager. From the Email Manager, click on the email configuration tab to see all possible settings. Apply these settings in the steps below.



How to configure your iOS device

New Account Information

  1. Enter your Name

  • User Name: Your email address.
  • Password: The password for your email address.

Outgoing Mail Server

    Although iOS may indicate these fields as optional, please enter your full email address and password

  • Host Name: This is the same as the incoming server.
  • User Name: This is required and again is your email address.
  • Password: The password for your email address.
  • Tap Next.

Cannot Verify Server Identity

This error message occurs because the certificate is for *.HostGator.sg instead of your domain. Click continue to accept the certificate.

  1. Leave Mail and Notes set to on.
