Reading your Disoh email on your phone keeps you connected wherever you are. Once you have created a mailbox in DirectAdmin, adding it to an iPhone or Android device takes just a few minutes. This guide covers the settings you need and how to enter them.
Before you start #
Have these details ready, found in DirectAdmin under E-mail Accounts using the device setup link:
- Email address and password.
- Incoming server (IMAP): your mail server hostname, port 993 with SSL.
- Outgoing server (SMTP): your mail server hostname, port 465 with SSL.
IMAP is recommended so your mail stays in sync across devices.
Adding the account on iPhone #
- Open Settings > Mail > Accounts > Add Account.
- Choose Other, then Add Mail Account.
- Enter your name, email address, and password.
- Set the type to IMAP and enter the incoming and outgoing servers.
- Save.
Adding the account on Android #
- Open your mail app and choose to add an account.
- Select Other or IMAP.
- Enter your email address and password.
- Enter the incoming and outgoing server details and ports.
- Finish setup.
Troubleshooting #
- Cannot connect: confirm the server hostname, ports, and that SSL is enabled.
- Can receive but not send: check the outgoing (SMTP) settings and that authentication is on.
- Password rejected: re-enter the mailbox password carefully.
