Mail on Mac, iPhone and iPad.
WHAT TO USE
Manual setup, choosing IMAP and entering the server details.
WHY NOT AUTOMATIC
It frequently guesses settings that do not match your server.
WHAT TO ENTER
- Incoming and outgoing server: the hostname from cPanel
- Username: the full email address
- Password: the mailbox password
Encryption enabled
THE OUTGOING SERVER POINT
Apple Mail sometimes fails to save outgoing settings on the first attempt.
Check after setup that outgoing authentication is configured.
FOLDER MAPPING
Ensure Sent, Drafts and Trash map to the server folders.
Otherwise they exist only on that device.
FOR SEVERAL DEVICES
The same configuration on each.
WHAT TO CHECK
That mail appears on all devices That deleting on one deletes everywhere
COMMON PROBLEMS
Outgoing mail failing Duplicate folders Mail not updating until the app is opened
FOR PUSH AND FETCH
Configure how often it checks.
Frequent checking uses battery and data.
