Accessing Sailmail from an iPad or iPhone
General information on accessing Sailmail via internet is available by sending a blank email to: internet@saildocs.com (or via the web at http://saildocs.com/internet), and more info on POP3 email connections is available by sending a blank email to: pop3@saildocs.com (or htp://saildocs.com/pop3).
The following information covers setting up an iPad or iPhone to access Sailmail's email servers:
1. If this is the first mail account you're setting up then tap "Mail".
Otherwise, from the Home screen tap "Settings" then "Mail, Contacts, Calendar" and find "Accounts" and click "Add Account".
2. The next page is a list of useless accounts, select "Other", then "Add Mail Account".
3. In the "Name" box enter your name or boat-name, in the "Address" enter your complete Sailmail email-address, for "Password" enter your Sailmail internet password (in your Welcome message), "Description" can be your email address or "Sailmail". Click "Next" (or Save).
4. On the next page you have a choice of IMAP or POP, select "POP" (POP3).
Under "Incoming Mail Server", for Host Name enter "pop3.sailmail.com" (without quotes),
for User Name enter your Sailmail callsign (without the "@sailmail.com"),
"Password" should already be entered.
Scroll down to "Outgoing Mail Server" and for Host Name enter "smtp.sailmail.com",
for User Name enter "sailmailsmtp", and for Password enter "9cLbUc5".
Then click "Save".
5. If you see an error "Cannot connecting using SSL" then click "Yes" to try without SSL.
You may still see an error, go ahead and save and then check advanced settings:
6. If you have problems checking incoming mail, then open the "Sailmail" account and scroll down to "Advanced" settings. SSL should be off, Authentication should be "Password", Server port 110.
If you have trouble sending then check the Outgoing mail (SMTP) settings:
Check that Primary Server "smtp.sailmail.com" is set "on",
open those settings and check SSL off, Authentication NTLM, Server port 25 (or 2525).
