I have a business email account with different ports for reading and sending. How do I configure that?

I have different mail servers for reading and sending, which I found I can configure. BUT how do I configure the ports for each?

They just told me to check the IOS mail account settings. When I do, there is no place to add a port for the mail servers.


Not true. The iOS/iPadOS Mail App is fully configurable by both Mail protocol and port number…


Incoming Mail server settings:

Settings > Mail > Accounts > [email account] > Account >

  • [Incoming Mail Server]
  • Advanced > [Incoming Settings]


Outgoing Mail server settings:

Settings > Mail > Accounts > [email account] > Account > [Outgoing Mail Server] SMTP > [Primary Server] - configure your outgoing Mail server settings


You should note that you may need to use the Manual settings option when adding a new account to your device - as the Wizard may otherwise preconfigure common settings.
