Setting up iPhone/iPad Mail App (IMAP)

We recommend using IMAP for checking mail from different device.

Make sure you have all the information you need to set up your account. If you don't: contact HIS Support.

This information was provided when your email account was setup.
You will need to know:

• Your real name (e.g. Jane Doe).
• Your full email address.
• Your password.
• The address of your Zimbra mail server: XXXX.his.com (where XXXX is the Zimbra server name)

Configuring Mail on the iPhone or iPad:

• From the Home screen go to Settings , then Mail on the latest iOS. On older iOS you'd see either: Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Accounts & Passwords
• Select Accounts, then Add Account

• Enter all of your relevant email account details:
  • Name: Your name as you want it to appear.

  • Password: your email password.
  • Description: It will be automatically filled. You can change it if you like.
