On the Accounts & Passwords menu, select Add Account.

From the account types select the option ‘Other’.

Select Add Mail Account.

  • Email – Enter the email address you want your emails to be sent from.
  • Password – This should be the password you have set for your email mailbox.
  • Description – This can be anything you like, it only serves to differentiate between multiple accounts you have setup on the phone/tablet.

Enter your incoming server details;

  • Host Name – this should be set to pop3.hosts.co.uk
  • Username – This will be your mailbox username.
  • Password – This should already be filled in from when you entered it on the previous screen but you can update it here if you need to.

Enter the outgoing server information;

  • Host Name – If you have our Authenticated SMTP enter smtp.hosts.co.uk
  • Username – Enter the domain name these emails are to be sent from
  • Password – Enter the Authenticated SMTP password.
