Overview
This article explains how to configure your email account on an iPhone, including using IMAP or POP3 protocols and enabling SSL encryption. iPhone’s built-in Mail app allows you to connect to your custom domain email and manage your inbox on the go.
Notes
Use IMAP for multi-device syncing (recommended).
Use POP3 if you prefer to store emails on your iPhone only.
Make sure SSL is enabled and ports are correctly configured: IMAP port: 993
POP port: 995
SMTP port: 465 or 587
If you encounter errors, contact technical support and include a screenshot of your settings.
