How to Setup 1stDomains/Rego email using the default
Mail App on iPhones and iPads

Overview

This article will show you how to manually configure your iPhone or iPod touch with your 1stDomains email account(s) using the preferred IMAP protocol.

Requirements

Before you start, be sure to have these handy:

  • Your domain name: example.com
  • Your email address: [email protected]
  • Your email password.
  • Choose IMAP or POP. Choose IMAP if you want to check the account on multiple computers or mobile devices. POP downloads the messages locally to your computer/device.
