Presumably you are attempting to configure a POP3S mailbox - using the native Mail client?


POP3S (incoming mail server settings)

Settings > Mail > Accounts > [Your Mail Account] > [Account] > Advanced >

  • Use SSL - set to ON
  • Server Port - set to 993


SMTP (outgoing mail server settings)

Settings > Mail > Accounts > [Your Mail Account] > [Account] > SMTP > [Primary Server] >

  • Server - set to ON
  • Use SSL - set to ON
  • Server Port - set to 465
