Step-by-step instructions for updating LinkU incoming and outgoing mail server settings in Apple Mail on an iPhone or iPad.

Written by Wesley Rocha

This guide explains how to update the incoming and outgoing mail server settings for an existing LinkU email account in Apple Mail on an iPhone or iPad.

Before you begin

  • Have your full email address and email password available.

  • Use the same account type already configured on the device: IMAP or POP3.

Mail server settings

  • IMAP incoming server: imap.fusemail.net, port 993, SSL enabled.

  • POP3 incoming server: pop.fusemail.net, port 995, SSL enabled.

  • SMTP outgoing server: smtp.fusemail.net, port 587 with TLS, or port 465 with SSL.

  • Username: your full email address.

  • Password: your email password.

  • Outgoing server authentication: required.

  1. Open the Settings app. Scroll down and tap Mail. On newer versions of iOS or iPadOS, the path may be Settings > Apps > Mail.

  2. Tap Accounts (or Mail Accounts), then select the email account you want to update.

  3. Tap the account name again under the IMAP or POP heading to open its server settings.

  4. Under Incoming Mail Server, update Host Name. For an IMAP account, enter imap.fusemail.net. For a POP3 account, enter pop.fusemail.net. Confirm that User Name is your full email address and enter your email password if prompted.

  5. To confirm the incoming port and encryption, tap Advanced. IMAP uses port 993 with Use SSL enabled. POP3 uses port 995 with Use SSL enabled. Return to the previous screen when finished.

  6. Under Outgoing Mail Server, tap SMTP, then tap the server listed under Primary Server.

  7. Turn the server On. Enter smtp.fusemail.net as the host name. Confirm that the username is your full email address, enter your email password, and make sure authentication is enabled. Use port 587 with TLS, or port 465 with SSL.

  8. Tap Done in the upper-right corner. Apple Mail will verify the settings. Open the Mail app and send yourself a test message to confirm that sending and receiving both work.

If verification fails, re-enter the full email address and password, confirm that outgoing authentication is enabled, and check the server names and ports for typing errors.
