First step: Register with IzyMail.

Next step: Configure Mail as outlined below.

Open the Mail application and tap on Other.

This potentially misleading message can be safely ignored. Tap [OK]

iPhone 3G:
Scroll back up to see the IMAP POP buttons. The Exchange button is no longer present.

For fast and easy email download, tap on POP.

IMAP is possible, but tends to be slow and more complex to handle.

Enter your full name and your email address.
The account description will be filled automatically.

Enter the incoming server name in.izymail.com
Your email address is also your user name.

Enter the outgoing server name out.izymail.com
Your email address is also your user name.

Attention: Major Internet providers (Comcast, MSN, AOL, and many others …) block outgoing mail on its regular port 25.

If port 25 is unavailable, the [Save] operation (below) will take a very long time. Set the outgoing server name to: out.izymail.com:587

The delay is an issue of the iPhone itself and there is nothing we can do about it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Tap [Save] and wait …
This can take a very long time!!

The iPhone will try various methods to connect to the incoming mail server which can take a considerable amount of time ….

… until the dialog appears. Tap [Yes] and wait …

The iPhone will repeat the process for outgoing mail which can take even longer, up to several minutes … … …

… until the dialog appears again. Tap [Yes] and wait …

Finally, the iPhone will start downloading messages. This step, at least, does not require confirmation …

When using IMAP and if your mailbox is pretty full, there can be another significant delay until the messages appear. This one-time delay is (partly) caused by the iPhone itself. We are investigating options to speed up the process. Sorry for the inconvenience.
