Mail on iPhone and iPad: setting up your email
For iOS and iPadOS 18 and newer (Mail is under Apps). You need your email address and the password of your mailbox; everything else is below.
Open the mail accounts
Open Settings, scroll down and tap Apps, then Mail and Mail Accounts.
Add an account
Tap Add Account, then Other and Add Mail Account.
Enter name, address and password
Name: as recipients see it. Email: your full email address. Password: the one for your mailbox. Description: for example the name of your business. Tap Next.
Enter the servers
Choose IMAP at the top. Incoming mail server: host name imap.migadu.com, username your full email address, your password. Outgoing mail server: host name smtp.migadu.com, again your full email address and your password. Fill them in for the outgoing server too, even though it says "optional". Tap Next.
Save
Leave Mail on and tap Save. Your iPhone chooses the ports itself.
All details at a glance
| Server | Port | Security | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Incoming (IMAP) | imap.migadu.com | 993 | SSL/TLS |
| Outgoing (SMTP) | smtp.migadu.com | 465 | SSL/TLS |
- Username: your full email address, for both incoming and outgoing.
- Password: the password of your mailbox. We don't know it; if you have lost it, we send you a link to choose a new one.
- Account type: IMAP. Then you see the same folders and messages on every device.
- Webmail: without setting anything up you can also read and send your email at webmail.modexsoftware.nl. Log in with your full email address and your password; leave the field for the verification code empty.
Buttons sometimes have slightly different names per version than here; the details you fill in are always the same. If it doesn't work, first check that your password is right by logging in to the webmail.
