When adding a Mail account on an iOS device specific details about the email account are necessary. cPanel includes a Mail Client Automatic Configuration Script that can be used with iOS for iPhone/iPad/iPod. This script will securely provide the necessary details of your email account, in an iOS Configuration Profile, that you can easily install. This guide will provide the steps for how to use cPanel’s script to automatically set up an email account on an iOS device.

1. On your iPhone/iPad/iPod, open Safari and navigate to your cPanel login page.
