All devices are different, but the general information is usually the same. We use an IMAP connection. The incoming/outgoing mail server name is going to be mail.ohiochristian.edu . These instructions will primarily get you set up with most phones or devices. Note* Incoming Mail Server port #:143 & Outgoing Mail Server port #: 25

1. Tap the iPhone Settings icon and go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Tap Add Account…
2. Tap Other as that account type.  Tap Add Mail Account.  Enter your Name, email Address, and Password the Description will auto fill or you can add your own.
3.
