On the Settings screen tap ADD MAIL ACCOUNT, then tap Add an email account.

  2. Enter your email address in the corresponding field and tap Continue.

  3. On the next screen, tap IMAP.

  4. On the Connect IMAP screen, specify the following details:

    IMAP Host Name: mail.your_server.com (replace your_server.com with the server's host name)
    Port (the Port option next to IMAP Host Name): 993
    Security type    : SSL/TLS
    IMAP Username: [email protected] (replace [email protected] with your email address)
