Yes – It SHOULD be easier to do… but here’s some help since it’s not always the case…
This article will show you how to manually set up your iPhone or iPad email account(s).
What You’ll Need:
Before you start, you’ll need the following:
- Your email address: name@yoursite.com
- Your email password.
- Choose IMAP or POP – Choose IMAP if you want to check the account on multiple computers or mobile devices. POP downloads the messages locally to your computer/device.
