Compatibility

For optimal compatibility with our mailbox accounts, it’s advisable to use the most recent version of iOS on your iPhone or iPad. This ensures seamless synchronisation and incorporates the latest software updates, which can help prevent potential issues. We recommend regularly updating your iPhone or iPad to ensure that you have the latest features and security updates.

Before you start

Before beginning, ensure that you have the password for your email account. We previously sent you an email containing all the necessary information. If you’re unable to locate the email, please get in touch with us.

When setting up your devices, always choose IMAP to ensure that all of your devices synchronise with each other. This means that you’ll have access to all of your emails on all of your devices and in Webmail, and any changes you make (such as marking an email as read or deleting it) will be reflected across all devices. By using IMAP, you can enjoy a seamless email experience, no matter which device you’re using.
