OR 

2. Choose your email account type. For setting up email to work with your service choose Other.

3. Select Add Mail Account under the Mail section and enter account information.

4. Fill in your name and email address.  Then click Save.

On the next screen enter your account details, including the following.  We strongly suggest using your access domain which will work properly with SSL enabled.  This is the default setting on the iPhone.

• Incoming Mail Server
  Host Name: mail.yourdomainname.com
  User Name: your email address
  Password: your current password.


• Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
  Host Name: mail.yourdomainname.com
  User Name: your email address
  Password: your current password

Tap Save to save the entered information.  Your iPhone will then verify your account information.

5. Upon successful completion you will be taken back to the Mail Settings screen. You will still need to configure your folders since you are using IMAP.  Select your newly created account and enter the Advanced section:

Change your IMAP Path Prefix from / to INBOX:

6. Now you will be able to choose the Drafts, Sent, and Deleted folders on the server.  This way your folders will be in sync no matter where or how you access your email.  Just choose each Mailbox on the same Advanced screen and select the matching folder on the server:

You should now have a fully configured account on your Apple iPhone.
