Step-by-Step Setup

3. Tap Accounts, then tap Add Account.
4. Tap Other at the bottom of the list.
5. Tap Add Mail Account.
6. Fill in your details:
   • Name: Your display name
   • Email: Your full email address
   • Password: Your Mailbux password
   • Description: A label for this account (e.g. Work Email)
7. Tap Next. iOS will try to auto-detect settings. If it fails, you will be taken to the manual setup screen.
8. Make sure IMAP is selected at the top.
9. Under Incoming Mail Server:
   • Host Name: my.mailbux.com
   • User Name: your full email address
   • Password: your password
10. Under Outgoing Mail Server:
    • Host Name: my.mailbux.com
    • User Name: your full email address
    • Password: your password
11. Tap Next. iOS will verify the settings.
12. Tap Save to finish.

Verify the Port Settings

iOS sometimes sets incorrect ports during auto-detection. To check:

1. Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts and tap your account.
2. Tap Account, then scroll down and tap Advanced.
3. Confirm the incoming server port is 993 with SSL enabled.
4. Go back and tap the outgoing server. Confirm port is 587 with STARTTLS.

Troubleshooting

• Cannot verify server identity: Make sure the hostname is exactly my.mailbux.com with no typos.
• Password incorrect: Re-enter your password. The username must be your full email address.
• Emails not sending: Check that the outgoing server is set to port 587 with STARTTLS.
