How to set up email on your iPhone or Android
iPhone or iPad
- Open Settings → Apps → Mail → Mail Accounts → Add Account. (Older iPhones: Settings → Mail → Accounts.)
- Pick Google, Microsoft Exchange/Outlook.com, iCloud or Yahoo if that's who provides your email, and sign in.
- For business email at your own domain, choose Other → Add Mail Account, enter your name, full email address and password, and choose IMAP.
Android
- Open the Gmail app → tap your profile picture → Add another account.
- Choose your provider, or Other for business email.
For business email you'll need
- The incoming (IMAP) and outgoing (SMTP) server, often something like
mail.yourbusiness.ca - Your full email address as the username
- Ports 993 (IMAP) and 465 or 587 (SMTP), with SSL/TLS turned on
Choose IMAP, not POP. IMAP keeps your phone, computer and webmail in sync. POP downloads mail to one device and can make it disappear from the others.
