You can set up your mail account on an iPhone in two ways:
- Manually.
- Automatically. You will not have to specify the majority of the mail settings. Instead, Plesk will generate a QR code and a link using which your phone will download your mail profile with the necessary settings.
To set up a mail account on an iPhone manually:
1. Go to **Settings** \> **Password & Accounts**.
2. Tap **Add Account**.
3. In the displayed list of email providers, select **Other**.
4. Tap **Add Mail Account**.
5. On the **New Account** screen, enter the following information and then tap **Next**:
- The name that will be displayed in your emails.
- Your full email address, for example, *john@example.com*.
- The password of your email account.
- (Optional) Your account description.
6. To keep the copies of email messages on the server, tap **IMAP** at the top of the screen. If you do not want to keep them on the server, tap **POP**. Then specify the details of your incoming and outgoing mail servers and tap **Next**:
- Your domain name in the “Host Name” field, for example, *example.com*.
- The name of your email account in the “Username” field, for example, *john@example.com*.
- The password of your email account.
7. Once the email configuration is added, tap **Save**. The connection to the specified server will be verified.
8. Once the connection is verified, choose what information you want to sync with your phone and tap **Save**.
9. Your iPhone will then verify your account information. Once it is finished, you will be taken to the “Mail” screen. Your account will now be listed in the **Accounts** section.
3. Select **iOS Mail**.
4. Set up your mail account using either of the two ways:
- Scan the generated QR code with your phone’s camera.
- Open the provided link on the device on which you want to set up your mail account.
You perform all the further steps on your iPhone.
5. Tap **Allow** to have your phone download your mail account profile.
6. Go to **Settings** and then tap **Profile Downloaded**.
7. Tap **Install** to install the downloaded profile.
8. Enter your phone passcode and then tap **Install**.
9. Enter your password of the incoming mail server and then tap **Next**.
10. Once the profile is installed, tap **Done**.
You will be taken to the “Mail” screen. Your account will now be listed in the **Accounts** section.
Note
If you are experiencing any difficulties with syncing your messages, you can manually configure the folders correspondence. To do this, select your newly created account and enter the **Advanced** section. Here you can choose a mailbox (**Drafts**, **Sent**, **Deleted**, **Archive**) and select a matching folder on the server. This way your folders will be in sync no matter where or how you access your email.
To set up a mail account on an iPhone automatically:
1. Log in to Plesk.
2. Go to **Mail** and then click the **Mail Client Setup** next to your email address.
