Add an email account to an iPhone
If you have web hosting with mijn.host and have already created an email account, you can add this created email account on the iPhone. In this article, we explain how you can add an email account in the default mail application on the iPhone.
This manual was written for iOS 13. In newer versions, the images may differ slightly.
1. Add a new email account
Go to your iPhone settings. Choose "Passwords & Accounts" in the menu.
In the next screen, choose "Add Account".
In the next screen, you will see multiple providers. Here we choose "Other".
In the next screen, choose "Add Mail Account".
2. Enter email address
In the next screen, enter the following details:
| Name | First name Last name |
| Your created email address on the web hosting So this is not a hotmail or gmail address. | |
| Password | The password for your email address |
| Description | You will see this description in the mailbox, you can change this later |
3. Enter server settings
In this step, you enter the server settings for your email address. You can choose between IMAP or POP here. In this manual, we assume IMAP. With IMAP, the emails are kept on the server, which has advantages.
Under the heading "Incoming Mail Server" enter the following details:
| Incoming Mail Server | |
| Host Name | mail.uw-domein.nl Replace uw-domein.nl with your actual domain name |
| Username | Enter your email address here |
| Password | Enter the password for your email account here |
Under the heading "Outgoing Mail Server", you enter exactly the same details as above. It may say SMTP server, which means the same thing.
| Outgoing Mail Server | |
| Host Name | mail.uw-domein.nl Replace uw-domein.nl with your actual domain name |
| Username | Enter your email address here |
| Password | Enter the password for your email account here |
4. Other settingen
Your email account has now been successfully set up on the iPhone! A port number may need to be specified for the incoming and outgoing server. In that case, you can use the following values:
Incoming settings (IMAP):
| Use SSL | Yes |
| Server port | 993 |
Outgoing settings (SMTP):
| Use SSL | Yes |
| Server port | 587 (or 465 if you receive an error message) |
