# Connect Davnode to iOS Mail

This guide will help you set up your **Davnode** email account on an iPhone or iPad using the default Mail app.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

* Your active **Davnode email address**.
* Your email address **password** or **app password (recommended)**.
* An internet connection.

<Note>
  We recommend to always use an **app password** for connecting mail clients.

## Server Settings Reference

If you are setting this up manually or need to verify your ports, use the following settings:

| Setting                  | Protocol | Hostname           | Port   | Security |
| :----------------------- | :------- | :----------------- | :----- | :------- |
| **Incoming**             | IMAP     | `mail.davnode.com` | `993`  | SSL/TLS  |
| **Outgoing**             | SMTP     | `mail.davnode.com` | `465`  | SSL/TLS  |
| **Outgoing alternative** | SMTP     | `mail.davnode.com` | `8465` | SSL/TLS  |
| **Outgoing alternative** | SMTP     | `mail.davnode.com` | `587`  | STARTTLS |

> **Note:** Your username is your full Davnode email address.

## Setup Instructions

1. Open the **Settings** app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap on **Mail** > **Accounts**.
   * *(On older iOS versions, this may be under **Passwords & Accounts**)*.
3. Tap **Add Account**.
4. Select **Other** from the bottom of the list.
5. Tap **Add Mail Account**.
6. Enter your account details:
   * **Name:** Your display name (e.g., John Doe).
   * **Email:** Your full Davnode email address.
   * **Password:** Your email password.
   * **Description:** Davnode (or a name of your choice).
7. Tap **Next**.

### Configure Server Settings

Ensure the **IMAP** tab is selected at the top.

#### Incoming Mail Server

* **Host Name:** `mail.davnode.com`
* **User Name:** Your full email address.
* **Password:** Your email password.

#### Outgoing Mail Server

* **Host Name:** `mail.davnode.com`
* **User Name:** Your full email address.
* **Password:** Your email password.

Tap **Next** to verify the account information. iOS will attempt to verify the connection.

### Troubleshooting Ports

If iOS fails to verify automatically, you may need to manually ensure the specific ports are set correctly.

1. Tap on your newly created **Davnode** account in **Settings** > **Mail** > **Accounts**.
2. Tap on **Account** (showing your email address).
3. **For IMAP (Incoming):**
   * Go back and tap **Advanced**.
   * Scroll to "Incoming Settings".
   * Ensure **Server Port** is set to `993`.
   * Ensure **Use SSL** is toggled **ON**.
4. **For SMTP (Outgoing):**
   * Tap **SMTP** -> **mail.davnode.com**.
   * Ensure **Server Port** is set to `465`.
   * Ensure **Use SSL** is toggled **ON**.

If port `465` is blocked on your network, try port `8465` with **SSL/TLS** or port `587` with **STARTTLS**.
