SetUp Email iPhone

To do this go to Settings > Wi-Fi > Off.
Email Setup for POP3 and IMAP4

- Select server type – IMAP and enter account information (POP is a valid option)
- Name – Enter your name
- Address – Enter your email address
- Description – Enter a name for the email account

Incoming Mail Server

Check outgoing mail server settings
If you’ve used IMAP settings, you’ll also need to follow these additional steps:

- Select your account
- Tap Advanced
- In the IMAP Path Prefix enter INBOX (all capital letters)
We recommend you use mail.reallygoodhosting.com as your outgoing server with your username and password. However if your ISP doesn’t support this you can use smtp.o2.co.uk and if your device has an option for a username and password for the
Outgoing Server you should enter your full o2.co.uk email address and o2 password. Your o2 email address is the username you set up – e.g. joe.bloggs becomes joe.bloggs@o2.co.uk
