Setting up REW Mail in iPhone

Hello Everyone

We have had a lot of support calls for setting up mail on an iPhone. Well this weekend the iPhone 3G S launched and I got one for myself. With an actual device to test with I can provide you with step-by-step directions. So here are the instructions for setting up an iPhone to get email from your REW hosted email account.

Step 1

Go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Add Account

Click Other

Click Add Mail Account

Step 2

Enter Basic Info.

Name: This is just your name. John Smith. This will show up in the From on other people mail clients.
Address: This is your email address.
Password: Put the password supplied by REW here
Description: A description of this mail account

Step 3

Select IMAP or POP. IMAP is good if you also need to check the mail account from multiple devices / computers. I leaves all the mail on the server. Webmail works through IMAP. POP is what a desktop program normally uses and downloads the mail to the device and will delete it off the server. You can set POP settings to leave mail on the server for a few days so that all your devices can download it, but this can occasionally cause problems when something forgets what its already downloaded and re-downloads all your mail. I suggest IMAP.

As you can see, the settings for IMAP and POP are identical. Click Save when done

Step 4

If you get an error like this just click Continue

Done!

You should now be able to send and receive email.
