Add your CAP CONNECT mailbox to Mail on iPhone or iPad using the service's secure settings. Prefer IMAP when reading messages on several devices.

Prepare the mailbox

Check your credentials in Webmail. Note the full address, password, incoming and outgoing servers, ports and required encryption.

Add the account in Settings

  1. Open Settings and Mail accounts. Depending on iOS, Mail may be under Apps.
  2. Choose Add Account, then Other and Add Mail Account if your provider is not listed.
  3. Enter your display name, email address and password.
  4. Choose IMAP if supported by your service.
  5. Enter the server names and required credentials, then save.

Check security options

Use your mailbox's specified ports and encryption. A name such as mail.exemple.com is an example, not a universal value. Do not bypass a certificate warning to accept an incorrect server name.

Test reception and sending

Send a message from an external address and reply to it. If only reception works, check SMTP and its authentication. With POP, retention on the server depends on settings; messages are not necessarily deleted each time they are read.
