How do I set up my email on an iPhone or Android device in DirectAdmin?

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 #

  1. Open Settings > Mail > Accounts > Add Account.
  2. Choose Övrigt, then Add Mail Account.
  3. Enter your name, email address, and password.
  4. Set the type to IMAP and enter the incoming and outgoing servers.
  5. Save.

Adding the account on Android #

  1. Open your mail app and choose to add an account.
  2. Select Övrigt or IMAP.
  3. Enter your email address and password.
  4. Enter the incoming and outgoing server details and ports.
  5. 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.
