How to set up your email account on an iPhone

It’s great to be able to access your email on the move. This guide will show you how to set up your email account on an iPhone or iPad running iOS11. For customers using LCN Web hosting, WordPress hosting, Email hosting or LiteMail with an Authenticated SMTP. 

Before you get started, you’ll need to have your email address and password handy. If you can’t remember these details, you can check and reset them from your LCN account. 
 
You will also need to ensure you have Authenticated SMTP enabled. You can find out how to do this here.   

Let’s get started…  

1. From the iPhone home screen tap on Settings and then on Accounts & Passwords. 

2. Next tap on Add Account. 

3. Now tap Other from the list of providers. 

4. Tap Add Mail Account. 

5. On the New Account page enter the following: 

• Name: Your full name 
• Email: Your email address 
• Password: Your email address password 
• Description: Enter a brief description of the account to help you find it later (i.e. Work Email) 

6. Tap the Next button at the top right of your screen. Your iPhone will then try and determine as many settings as it can for you before loading the next page. 

7. Ensure that IMAP is selected (highlighted in blue). If you do require a POP account, please see our IMAP/POP settings. 

8. Under Incoming Mail Server enter the following: 

• Host Name: Enter mail.lcn.com
