iOS Automatic Email Setup
iOS Automatic Email Setup
(iPhone, iPad, iPod)
iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod) have the ability to automatically configure your email settings. Not only will it set up your email account, but it will also sync your calendar and contacts to your email account with us. This is beneficial because you can check your calendar and contacts from any computer, restore and lost information, and share the information between other devices.
