Question

How do I find my host name when setting up account on iPhone?

Community Answer

You can easily know the host name. If you're looking for the host name for Gmail, it is stmp.gmail.com. For Office 365, it is stmp.office365.com and so on. Most often it will be something along the lines of smtp.yourprovider.com.

Question

What is an outgoing mail server?

Community Answer

To put it simply, an outgoing mail server takes care of the transport method of your emails, transferring them from your patron or webmail to some other laptop – the inbound server – the place the recipient can pick out it up.

Open your iPhone’s Settings. It’s a gray gear icon that will be on the Home Screen. Scroll down and tap Mail. It’s in the fifth set of options. Tap Accounts. Tap the account you want to change. Tap your email address.
