Mail<\/a> on your iPad and other iOS devices is straightforward, requiring only your username and password. However, if you\u2019re looking to configure an email address with your own domain on an iPad, this guide will help you through the process.<\/p>\n<p>In this quick guide, we\u2019ll show you how to set up your custom email address on an iPad using POP3. POP3 is an older email retrieval method that downloads messages from your server to your email client, making it accessible offline.<\/p>\n<h2>Steps to Set Up POP3 Email on iPad<\/h2>\n<p>Before proceeding, ensure you have already created an email address on your hosting account.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>With your email ready, open your iPad and tap the Mail icon on the iPad dock.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/quicktips\/pop3-ipad-mail-dock.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"170\" alt=\"Mail icon on iPad dock\"><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Alternatively, you can tap the \u2018Settings\u2019 icon, navigate to \u2018Mail, Contacts, Calendars,\u2019 and select \u2018Add Account\u2019.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/quicktips\/pop3-ipad-setting.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"327\" alt=\"iPad settings for adding email\"><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>From the list of options, select \u2018Other,\u2019 then tap \u2018Add Mail Account\u2019.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/quicktips\/pop3-ipad-add-mail.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"327\" alt=\"Add mail account on iPad\"><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Enter your email details, tap \u2018Next,\u2019 choose \u2018POP,\u2019 and fill in the \u2018Incoming Mail Server\u2019 and \u2018Outgoing Mail Server\u2019 information. Once done, tap \u2018Save\u2019.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/quicktips\/pop3-ipad-email-details.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" alt=\"Entering POP3 email details on iPad\"><\/figure>\n<p>For the Incoming and Outgoing Mail Servers, you will need the hostname information, which you can obtain from your hosting provider. If you are using your own server with a dedicated IP, you will need to create a hostname for your email server. Typically, your username is your full email address, and the password is the one associated with your email account.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Setting up a POP3 email on your iPad is simple as long as you have the correct email and server details.
