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 iPad. 

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.

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