iOS Mail Setup

Set up your Overton.cloud email account in Apple’s native Mail app on iPhone and iPad. We recommend IMAP so your mail stays in sync across all your devices.

Setup Steps

1. Open the Add Account screen
   On your device, go to Settings › Mail › Accounts › Add Account, then choose Other and tap Add Mail Account.
2. Enter your basic information
   Type your name, your complete email address, your password, and an optional description for the account, then tap Next.
3. Choose IMAP
   At the top of the next screen, make sure IMAP is selected (recommended over POP).
4. Enter the incoming and outgoing servers
   For both the Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server, enter your server hostname in the format mail.yourdomain.com. Use your full email address as the username and your account password for both.
5. Save and choose what to sync
   Tap Save. Enable Mail, and turn off Contacts, Calendars and Notes — these are not provided through the Mail account.

Server Settings

Use mail.yourdomain.com for both incoming and outgoing servers. Your username is always your full email address.

If iOS asks for manual settings during troubleshooting, use SSL with password authentication: incoming IMAP on port 993, outgoing SMTP on port 465.

Troubleshooting

• Can’t send mail? Some ISPs block port 465. Try SMTP on port 587 (or 2525) with SSL/TLS enabled.
• Connection or certificate warnings? Double-check the server hostname is spelled exactly as shown in your Control Panel.
• Authentication fails? Confirm your username is the full email address and the password is correct.
