You can read and send the email included with your Domain India hosting on any iPhone, iPad or Android phone. Use IMAP so your phone, computer and webmail show the same inbox, and use the same server name, mail.yourdomain.com, for incoming and outgoing mail. This page gives the phone steps; the settings for every mail app are in one place in the full guide.
Every setting, plus Outlook, Apple Mail and Thunderbird, is in email client settings for popular email clients. This page covers phones only, and only the email included with your hosting plan (cPanel, DirectAdmin, Webuzo or Windows). Business Email is a separate product with its own setup guide. Not sure which you have? See Business Email vs the email included with your hosting.
Choose IMAP. Incoming server mail.yourdomain.com, port 993, SSL/TLS. Outgoing server mail.yourdomain.com, port 465, SSL/TLS, with sign-in required. The username is your full email address and the password is the mailbox password. Port 587 with STARTTLS also works on Linux hosting, but not on Windows (Plesk) hosting.
1. The settings your phone needs
Replace yourdomain.com with your own domain.

| Account type | IMAP |
| Incoming server | mail.yourdomain.com, port 993, SSL/TLS |

| Alternative outgoing port | 587 with STARTTLS (cPanel, DirectAdmin and Webuzo only) |
| Username | Your full email address, for incoming and outgoing |
| Password | The mailbox password |

The password is the one for the mailbox, not your client area or control panel password.

Menu names differ between phone makers and app versions; look for "manual", "advanced" or "server settings".
4. If it won't connect
- Test the password in webmail first. If it works there, the problem is in the phone's settings. The webmail addresses are in how to log in to webmail.
- Use the full address as the username, for both incoming and outgoing.
- Receives but won't send? Outgoing sign-in (SMTP authentication) must be on. See I can receive mail but I cannot send it.
- Certificate warning? In cPanel, Email › Email Accounts › Connect Devices shows the exact server name to use for your account.
A phone that keeps trying an old password causes repeated failed logins, and the server firewall then blocks that IP address automatically, which can cut off mail for everyone on the same connection. Update the password on every device, or remove the account from phones you no longer use.
Frequently asked questions
What are the email settings for my phone on Domain India hosting?
Use IMAP. Incoming server mail.yourdomain.com on port 993 with SSL/TLS; outgoing server mail.yourdomain.com on port 465 with SSL/TLS and sign-in required. The username is your full email address and the password is the mailbox password.
Should I use IMAP or POP3 on my phone?
IMAP. It keeps your mail on the server, so your phone, computer and webmail all show the same inbox and folders, and nothing is lost if the phone breaks.
Can I use port 587 to send email?
Yes, with STARTTLS, on cPanel, DirectAdmin and Webuzo hosting. On Windows (Plesk) hosting port 587 is closed, so use 465 with SSL/TLS.
Do these settings work for Business Email?
No. Business Email is a separate product with its own servers and settings. Use the Business Email client setup guide instead.
