Set up email on iPhone or iPad

You will have been sent details of email accounts you have setup with your PagePlay site. Your email address and password are required in order to set up your email account on your iPhone.

Email accounts (along with autoresponders and forwarders) can be managed in your PagePlay website's toolbar when logged in.

Unless your setup is advanced, your details will likely be:
mail.pageplay.com is the server for both sending (SMTP) and receiving (IMAP)
Your full email address e.g. name@example.com for username (sending and receiving)
* Password (sending and receiving): As provided or set by you
* Ports: No change from default in most email applications

If prompted during setup always choose IMAP not POP. This ensures you can access your email account on multiple devices, and if you lose your device, your emails will be safely stored with PagePlay.
