Q: adding e-mail account to ipad

My ipad mini does not ask for the Incoming server port number SSL or outgoing server ports when I'm trying to set up a new e-mail account. Anyone got any ideas please?

iPad mini (Retina) Wi-Fi, iOS 7.0.4

    It would probably be a good idea if you would share who your email provider is. The more information you provide, the easier it is to offer solutions.

    Thank you. The provider is Vistaprint. They have given me the the following: But ipad does not ask for the Port numbers and simply says it cannot add e-mail address.

    POP3

    • Incoming Server: mail.[yourdomain]
    • Account Name: Your full email address (e.g. john@mysmallbusiness.com)
    • Password: Your current password
    • Port: 110 or 995 (SSL)

    IMAP

    • Incoming Server: mail.[yourdomain]
    • Account Name: Your full email address (e.g. john@mysmallbusiness.com)
    • Password: Your current password
    • Port:143 or 993 (SSL)

    SMTP

    • Outgoing Server: mail.[yourdomain]
    • Account Name: Your full email address (e.g. john@mysmallbusiness.com)
    • Password: Your current password

In fact, adding an e-mail account on iPad Mini is so easy.Meanwhile, you don't need others tool for you, just set up your iPad. This way are supported all the iOS devices, including iPhone, iPod. First tap "Settings" >"Mail, Contact, Calendar", then you will see a "Add Account" button and click it, finally choose e-mail application which you want to add in iPad Mini.
