Add your SiteBoma email to an iPhone or Android phone

Get [email protected] working in your phone's mail app in roughly 3 minutes. Includes the exact IMAP, SMTP and port settings for iPhone and Android.

Any standard mail app (iOS Mail, Gmail, Outlook) can use your SiteBoma email account. These are the details you need.

Settings for iPhone, Android and Outlook alike

  • Username: the whole email address (for example [email protected])
  • Password: the one you chose in DirectAdmin → Email Accounts
  • IMAP server: mail.yourdomain.co.ke
  • IMAP port: 993 (SSL/TLS)
  • SMTP server: mail.yourdomain.co.ke
  • SMTP port: 465 (SSL/TLS)
  • Authentication: Password (the same one as above)

On an iPhone (iOS Mail)

  1. Go to Settings → Mail → Accounts → Add Account → Other.
  2. Tap Add Mail Account, then enter your name, email address, password and a description.
  3. Select IMAP and type in the server settings above under both Incoming and Outgoing.
  4. Tap Save. iOS checks the details and adds the account.

On Android (Gmail app)

  1. In Gmail, open Settings → Add account → Other.
  2. Type your email address, choose "Manual setup", then pick Personal (IMAP).
  3. Give your password, fill in the IMAP server settings and tap next.
  4. Fill in the SMTP server settings and tap next.

Like the Gmail look but want your SiteBoma address?

On Gmail in a browser, go to Settings → Accounts → "Check mail from other accounts" and add your @yourdomain.co.ke address over POP3 (port 995, SSL). Gmail will collect your hosted mail every few minutes, and you can send as your domain as well.
