In order to access your T-Online e-mails on the iPhone, you need to set up the mailbox. We explain how to do this in this practical tip.
Setting up T-Online Mail: Preparing the iPhone properly
To retrieve your e-mails from T-Online on the iPhone, you must first make a setting in your T-Online account. To retrieve your e-mails through Apple’s “Mails” on the iPhone, T-Online requires a separate password, which you create as follows:
- Log on to the T-Online website.
-
Then click on Settings ☻ Passwords ☻ Password for e-mail programmes
- Set the password here that you will later use to access your T-Online e-mails via the Mails app on your iPhone.
- Furthermore, checking the port numbers of the “Inbox Server” and “Outbox Server” is essential for the setup on the iPhone.
-
You can find the information in your T-Online account under Settings ☻ Account ☻ Account Details. Here you can check the port numbers.
