How to Edit a Network Solutions email Settings Profile in iOS NetSol is going through changes and they STILL struggle to staff people familiar with the Mac. With 1,000 high quality emails bundled with the hosting package for $17.00 / month, I stick with them and mostly, they are compatible with Apple Mail (Mac OS and iOS). They recently updated their email servers and after a slew of incorrect informations, I was advised that the previous server is embedded within the new one and shares the same level of security, BUT the ports need changed and the settings need to be set to manual rather than automatic for the settings to stick. This is possible on a desktop Mac, but in iOS it seems to be impossible because each account's settings are tied to an unchangeable NetSol profile which cannot be edited. Yes, I can contact NetSol in 5 hours or so and pray for a Mac Familiar support tech, or I can ask Apple and pray for a NetSol familiar anyone... 2 hours in and harboring a tried-everything headache, any advice would be appreciated... Thank you, John G.

Setting up Apple Mail accounts I am using Bluehost as my domain registrar and WIX as my web builder / hosting site. When setting up email accounts using my non-icloud domain, do I still need to edit the MX, TXT, and CNAME records at Bluehost? When I go to edit these values a message states: The DNS records below will only apply if your nameservers are pointed to Bluehost. My name servers are pointed to WIX.

It'll probably be easier to just create a new account with the new credentials:

Open Mail. Mail in menu > Add Account.
