<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
- \n
- From there you\u2019ll see the following screen pop-up. Click the \u2018Mail, Contacts, Calendars\u2019 option as seen below:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
![\"IMG_1801\"](\"http:\/\/mrhost.ca\/system\/content\/2016\/01\/IMG_1801.png\")
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
- \n
- On the next screen you\u2019ll just need to click the \u2018Add Account\u2019 option as seen below:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
![\"IMG_1802\"](\"http:\/\/mrhost.ca\/system\/content\/2016\/01\/IMG_1802.png\")
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
- \n
- You\u2019ll then be taken to the screen to select the type of account you\u2019ll be setting up. Since Mr.Host, unfortunately, is not listed there you\u2019ll need to select \u2018Other\u2019, as seen below:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
![\"IMG_1803\"](\"http:\/\/mrhost.ca\/system\/content\/2016\/01\/IMG_1803.png\")
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
- \n
- From there, tap the\u00a0Add Mail Account<\/strong> option as seen below:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
![\"IMG_1804\"](\"http:\/\/mrhost.ca\/system\/content\/2016\/01\/IMG_1804.png\")
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
- \n
- After that, you get to the beginning of the good stuff. This is where you configure the first part of your email setup on the iPhone.\n
- \n
- You\u2019ll want to enter the name as you\u2019d like it to appear in the\u00a0From:<\/strong> field of your email client in the\u00a0Name<\/strong> field.<\/li>\n
- Your email address (the one you\u2019re setting up on the iPhone) goes into the\u00a0Address<\/strong> field.<\/li>\n
- The password tied to that email address goes in the\u00a0Password<\/strong> field.<\/li>\n
- Enter in anything you\u2019d like to in the\u00a0Description<\/strong> field. This will identify the email address when listed next to others when you run the Mail application. Something like Mr.Host<\/strong> or your domain name itself would be fine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
![\"IMG_1805\"](\"http:\/\/mrhost.ca\/system\/content\/2016\/01\/IMG_1805.png\")
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
- \n
- The next step is pretty juicy. You get to enter in all of the server-related information which you should make sure you enter carefully! If you don\u2019t, it likely won\u2019t work as expected and you\u2019ll get really confused and wind up having things broken<\/li>\n
- The\u00a0Host Name<\/strong> field under the\u00a0Incoming Mail Server<\/strong> section is the first important thing on that page. You\u2019ll want to enter the name of your mail server, which is going to be:mail.mrhost.ca<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- The\u00a0User Name<\/strong> should be the full email address that you\u2019re configuring. In this example I would enter in:\u00a0test@mrhost.ca<\/strong> since that\u2019s what\u2019s listed in the\u00a0Address <\/strong>field near the top of the screen.<\/li>\n
- The\u00a0Password<\/strong> field should already be filled in for you, but if it\u2019s not just enter the password that\u2019s tied to the email address you\u2019re setting up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
![\"IMG_1806\"](\"http:\/\/mrhost.ca\/system\/content\/2016\/01\/IMG_1806.png\")
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
- \n
- Scroll down a bit so that you now see the\u00a0Outgoing Mail Server<\/strong> options.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- In the\u00a0Host Name<\/strong> field, you\u2019ll want to enter in the same you entered for the\u00a0Host Name<\/strong> above. Just enter the name of your mail server, which is going to be: smtp.mrhost.ca<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- The\u00a0User Name<\/strong> should also be the same as you entered above, which is the full email address.<\/li>\n
- The\u00a0Password<\/strong> should also be the same password that you entered above.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n- \n
- At that point you should see the\u00a0Save<\/strong> button in the upper right-hand portion of the screen become selectable. Tap on that.<\/li>\n
- You should then be taken back to the\u00a0Mail, Contacts, Calendar<\/strong> page and see your new account listed under the\u00a0Accounts<\/strong> section<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Making Sent \/ Drafts \/ Trash work correctly<\/h3>\n
If you aren\u2019t planning on using your iPhone for e-mail much, you probably don\u2019t need to bother with this next step\u2013 you can read your mail with no problem now. However, your iPhone will not save Drafts or Sent mail on the server, nor will it allow you delete mail (other than by manually moving the message to the Trash folder). For this, you need to configure mailbox behaviors.<\/p>\n
In the\u00a0Accounts<\/strong> section under\u00a0Mail, Contacts, and Calendar<\/strong>, click on the account you just created, and scroll down to the bottom. Click\u00a0Advanced<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
At the top, you will see a section labeled \u201cMailbox Behaviors\u201d. Select \u201cDrafts Mailbox\u201d. In the \u201cOn the Server\u201d section, select your \u201cDrafts\u201d. Go back and set \u201cSent Mailbox\u201d to \u201cSent\u201d and \u201cDeleted Mailbox\u201d to \u201cTrash\u201d (again, choosing the one on the server, not the iPhone selection at the very top). You may also configure it to automatically delete messages from the Trash after a day, a week, or a month, if you so desire.<\/p>\n
Checking your email<\/h3>\n
Now, to check your email, you should just hit the\u00a0Home<\/strong> button on your iPhone and then tap the\u00a0Mail<\/strong> button at the bottom of your home screen to launch the Mail application. The Mail application should then begin checking your email account automatically and you\u2019ll soon (depending on whether you\u2019re connected to 3G, EDGE, or Wifi) hear a notification hum and see the number of unread messages (if any) appear next to the name of the email account on the list. Tapping that account will open up a new page that displays the folders contained under that address. Tap on the\u00a0Inbox<\/strong>to view all messages there, or tap another folder name to see those messages.<\/p>\n
