Determine Your Mail Server Address

You will use the mail server address for both incoming mail server and outgoing mail server settings when adding your email account to an iPhone.

Step 1: Open a web browser on your computer and go to webmail.yourdomain.com (replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name)

For example, if your email address is bob@xyzhealth.com, you would type in webmail.xyzhealth.com

Do not use a search box (from Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.) or include http:// or https:// when entering the URL into the browser's address bar.

Step 2: You will automatically be redirected to your mail server.

Your mail server address is the first portion of the URL.

In this example, the mail server address is: mail.enguard.com

Step 3: Please write down your mail server address, you will need it to complete the steps below.

Step 4: Test your email address and password to see if you can login
