Advanced Outgoing SMTP and Incoming Settings

  1. Open your Settings application.
  2. Choose Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
  3. From the Accounts menu, tap your email address.
  4. Scroll down to the bottom and tap Advanced.
  5. Scroll down to the Settings section. (You can set the previous settings based on personal preference).
  6. Incoming Uses SSL: If you select this option, your incoming email will be encrypted, which will help (but not guarantee) your email security. However, if you did not purchase an SSL certificate for your domain mail.EXAMPLE.COM, you will get an error when you try to use the encryption. To solve this, you can slide it OFF.
  7. Outgoing Uses SSL: If you select this option, your outgoing email will be encrypted, which will help (but not guarantee) your email security. However, if you did not purchase an SSL certificate for your domain mail.EXAMPLE.COM, you will get an error when you try to use the encryption. To solve this, you can slide it OFF.
  8. Authentication must be set to Password. Tap Password to make sure that the correct password is entered. If not, retype your email password there.
  9. IMAP Path Prefix: Leave this set to default.
  10. Return to the main screen.

You're all set! All of your advanced settings should now be accurate.
