Setting up email on an iPhone

Having email on the go is always really handy, but it isn't always immediately obvious how to set up your email on a number of mobile devices.  Here I'll explain (with pictures!), how to set up your Queensborough Group email account on your iPhone.

So let's start at the start.  You'll need to kick things off by opening up your main menu screen and selecting the settings icon.

Then you'll need to select the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" menu.

Then tap "Add Account".

Then select the "Other" option when presented with a list of Email providers.

Then click on "Add Mail Account".

You'll then be asked to type in your name, email address, password and a name for your email account.

Once you've done that, click on the "Save" button and you're presented with another settings page.  You'll see that you've already filled in the summary section, so now you'll need to fill in the incoming server information.  So enter "mail.yourdomain.com (or .co.uk)" as the incoming server name and then your username and your password again.

Now it's time for the outgoing server information.  Again, pretty similar, but making sure you use "mail.yourdomain.com (or .co.uk)" instead.

Once you've done that, you should see all the details of the server settings that you've just entered which should look a little bit like this. Then click on the "save" button".

Your iPhone will then need a bit of time to think about apply your settings and you'll be presented with an SSL error, which you'll need to say "Yes" to.  When I was setting up my account, I got asked this twice, so don't worry if that happens.

Then you should all be done!  You'll hopefully be able to see your new mail account in the main email accounts window.
