How to Edit a Network Solutions email Settings Profile in iOS

NetSol is going through changes and they STILL struggle to staff people familiar with the Mac. With 1,000 high quality emails bundled with the hosting package for $17.00 / month, I stick with them and mostly, they are compatible with Apple Mail (Mac OS and iOS).

They recently updated their email servers and after a slew of incorrect informations, I was advised that the previous server is embedded within the new one and shares the same level of security, BUT the ports need changed and the settings need to be set to manual rather than automatic for the settings to stick. This is possible on a desktop Mac, but in iOS it seems to be impossible because each account's settings are tied to an unchangeable NetSol profile which cannot be edited.

Yes, I can contact NetSol in 5 hours or so and pray for a Mac Familiar support tech, or I can ask Apple and pray for a NetSol familiar anyone... 2 hours in and harboring a tried-everything headache, any advice would be appreciated...

Thank you, John G.

Network Solutions is the first host providers. Been around a long time and maintain a PC bias. They offer hosting packages including email accounts. Easy to find this online.

The question involves the downloaded profiles which appear to be inaccessible. I'm concerned that I have to manually recreate them all for both my iPhone and my iPad given that I apparently cannot modify the content of the individual profiles.

Regarding profiles, the are all the same except for the email account name and passwords, so there's one profile for each email address. I have 26 email addresses! I am in need of changing the outgoing server ports and was able to do this manually on my desktop, but that option is apparently not available in iOS thus this question...
