Last updated September 18, 2024

Set up Mobile Sync (push email, calendar, contacts, tasks and notes) on an iPad with iPadOS 14. Enterprise Plan only.

You must be subscribed to our Enterprise Plan or have a MobileSync License from us, otherwise this guide will not work for your iPhone. If you are on our Enterprise Plan and need us to enable MobileSync for your account, please email our support team before setting up your iPhone.

If you do not have MobileSync enabled for your account, please use our Email Setup on iPad (iPadOS 14) guide instead.

This guide was written for iPadOS 14.2. Make sure your device is up to date so the screenshots match.

Do not skip any steps, and do them in order. If you skip a step or leave one unfinished, the setup will likely fail.

You need your current email address and password to add your account to the native Mail app on your iPad. We recommend setting up your email while your device is on Wi-Fi. If you are on 3G/4G/LTE/5G, make sure you have a strong connection and stay in one place.

The screenshots are for reference only. Please read the instructions at each step.

Part 1: Find your mail server address

You will use the mail server address for both incoming mail server and outgoing mail server settings when adding your email account to an iPad.

Step 1: Open webmail in your browser

Open a web browser on your computer and type webmail.yourdomain.com in the address bar. Replace yourdomain.com with your own domain name.

For example, if your email address is bob@xyzhealth.com, you would type in webmail.xyzhealth.com

Type it in the address bar at the top of the browser, not in a search box (Google, Bing, Yahoo and so on). Do not type http:// or https:// in front of it.

Step 2: Find your mail server address

You will be sent to your mail server automatically.

Your mail server address is the first portion of the URL.

In this example, the mail server address is: mail.enguard.com

Step 3: Write it down

Write down your mail server address. You will need it for the steps below.

Step 4: Test your login

Check that your email address and password work by logging in to webmail.

If you cannot log in, ask your administrator for the correct login.
