# How to configure iPhone "Mail"

   2. **Email**: Your email account's username (user@domain.com)
   3. **Password**: Your email account's password
   4. **Description**: A brief description of this account
5. Tap **Next**
6. Select **IMAP** (Internet Message Access Protocol)  or **POP3** (Post Office Protocol 3)
   1. **INCOMING MAIL SERVER:**
      - **Host Name**: dixie.simplywebservices.net (this is our secure email server)
      - **User Name**: Your email account's username (ex: user@domain.com)
      - **Password**: Your email account's password
      - **Port:** IMAP = 993  / POP3 = 995
      - Tap **Use SSL**
   2. **OUTGOING MAIL SERVER:**
      - **Host Name**: dixie.simplywebservices.net (this is our secure email server)
      - **User Name**: Your email account's username (ex: user@domain.com)
      - **Password**: Your email account's password
      - **SMTP Port**: 465
      - Tap **Use SSL**
7. Tap **Next**
8. Tap **Save**

### **Unsecure Method**

To add an email account to your iPhone's "Mail" app:

1. Tap on **Mail**
2. Tap on **Other** (at the bottom)
3. Tap on **Add Mail Account**
4. Enter account information
   1. **Name**: Your user’s first and last name
   2. **Email**: Your email account's username (user@domain.com)
   3. **Password**: Your email account's password
   4. **Description**: A brief description of this account
5. Tap **Next**
6. Select **IMAP** (Internet Message Access Protocol)  or **POP3** (Post Office Protocol 3)
   1. **INCOMING MAIL SERVER:**
      - **Host Name**: mail.domain.com
      - **User Name**: Your email account's username (ex: user@domain.com)
      - **Password**: Your email account's password
      - **Port:** IMAP = 143/ POP3 = 110
   2. **OUTGOING MAIL SERVER:**
      - **Host Name**: mail.domain.com
      - **User Name**: Your email account's username (ex: user@domain.com)
      - **Password**: Your email account's password
      - **SMTP Port**: 25 or 587 (if outgoing mail fails, try port 587)
7. Tap **Next**
8. Tap **Save**

POP3 downloads email from a server to a single computer, then deletes it from the server. On the other hand, IMAP stores the message on a server and synchronizes the message across multiple devices.

Our servers do not support using a secure method and using your domain name; you must use dixie.simplywebservices.net
