Auto Config for your Mail App (iOS/MacOS) Print

  • 3

When adding a Mail account on an iOS device specific details about the email account are necessary. cPanel includes a Mail Client Automatic Configuration Script that can be used with iOS for iPhone/iPad/iPod and MacOS.

This script will securely provide the necessary details of your email account, in an iOS/MacOS Configuration Profile, that you can easily install.

Following this guide will provide the step to use cPanel’s script to automatically set up an email account on your Apple device(s).

 

 

Step 1

On your Apple device, open Safari and navigate to our Webmail log in page (https://techvitahosting.com/webmail or https://webmail.techvitahosting.com)
