Summary
Step-by-step instructions describing how to configure your iPhone or BlackBerry to receive emails sent to your RM EasyMail Plus account.
Requirements
We recommend using RM EasyMail Plus on web based applications only. We do not support RM EasyMail Plus on iPhone or BlackBerry. However, you could try the procedure below at your own risk.
If you have an IMAP or POP3 email client installed on your hand-held devices like Apple® iPhone® or BlackBerry®, you may configure RM EasyMail Plus by following the procedure recommended by your manufacturer.
Procedure
How to configure RM EasyMail Plus on an iPhone
Follow the procedure below to configure RM EasyMail Plus on an iPhone 2G, 3G or 4G version.
In the iPhone home screen, click the Settings icon and then click Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Click the Add Account link.
Click the Other link.
Click Add Mail Account.
The following page must now be populated with the appropriate information:
Name
The display name that the email will be sent from.
Address
Your email address.
Password
Your password.
Description
The name you want the account to appear in, on your iPhone list.
Once completed, click Next.
Ensure that the IMAP button is pressed. In the Incoming Mail Server, complete the following:
Host Name
mail.<domain>.sch.uk
User Name
Your email address.
Password
This should be completed automatically but if not, enter your email account password.
Note: Use the same server address if you are specifying a POP3 server.
In the Outgoing Mail Server, complete the following:
SMTP
This should be configured to your network provider's outgoing smtp server. They should be able to provide this with you.
User Name
Optional (Your cellular provider will provide if needed)
Password
Optional (Your cellular provider will provide if needed)
Click Next.
You account should then be verified and the setup is complete. Note: When you receive the 'Cannot Connect Using SSL' prompt, click YES.
Possible Issues
Using the POP3 or IMAP method means the account will bypass the banned word checking, outbound virus scanning, attachment blocking and any restriction list applied to the account.
POP3 also stores mail locally on the device so no back-up is available.
