Email Setup on iPhone (iOS 17)
Add your EnGuard IMAP email account to the Mail app on an iPhone with iOS 17, step by step.
If you have Mobile Sync enabled for your account, please use our Mobile Sync Setup on iPhone (iOS 17) guide.
This guide was written for iOS 17.6.1. Make sure your device is up to date so the screenshots match.
Do not skip any steps, and do them in order. If you skip a step or leave one unfinished, the setup will likely fail.
You need your current email address and password to add your account to the native Mail app on your iPhone. We recommend setting up your email while your device is on Wi-Fi. If you are on 3G/4G/LTE/5G, make sure you have a strong connection and stay in one place.
The screenshots are for reference only. Please read the instructions at each step.
Part 1: Find 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 webmail in your browser
Open a web browser on your computer and type webmail.yourdomain.com in the address bar. Replace yourdomain.com with your own domain name.
For example, if your email address is bob@xyzhealth.com, you would type in webmail.xyzhealth.com
Type it in the address bar at the top of the browser, not in a search box (Google, Bing, Yahoo and so on). Do not type http:// or https:// in front of it.
Step 2: Find your mail server address
You will be sent to your mail server automatically.
Your mail server address is the first portion of the URL.
In this example, the mail server address is: mail.enguard.com
Step 3: Write it down
Write down your mail server address. You will need it for the steps below.
Step 4: Test your login
Check that your email address and password work by logging in to webmail.
If you cannot log in, ask your administrator for the correct login.
