To add your GreenNet email account on your Apple iPhone or iPad, follow these instructions for the built-in email client. 

  1. From the device's home screen, tap Settings
  2. For versions before 10.3.3 (2017) tap Mail, Contacts, Calendar.  For newer versions, go to Mail, then Accounts or (iPhone 7) Passwords & Accounts
  3. Tap Add Account
  4. Select account type Other at the bottom of the list
  5. On older versions you may need to tap Add Mail Account
  6. Fill in your name, email address and password, and optionally a description to identify the account on your device
  7. Tap Next, and select account type IMAP
  8. Fill in the following server details:
    • Incoming mail server
      • Host name: imap.gn.apc.org
      • Username: As supplied for your account (if you use a yourname@gn.apc.org address, this will be the part of your email address before the '@' sign)
      • Password: The password for your account (this may already be filled in)
    • Outgoing mail server:
      • Host name: smtp.gn.apc.org
      • Username: As supplied for your account (if you use a yourname@gn.apc.org address, this will be the part of your email address before the '@' sign)
      • Password: The password for your account (this may already be filled in)
  9. Tap Next to test and then Save. You can turn the Notes function on in the Mail settings.
  10. Exit settings or go to the home screen to start the Mail app.

Other email clients are sometimes used on IPhones and iPads such as Microsoft "Outlook for iOS".  The incoming and outgoing mail server details are the same, but they are accessed via Settings > Add Account > Add Email Account > type email address > add account > IMAP.  If it fails to connect, tap "advanced settings", and use the details above.

If you need a completed copy of the Apple "cheat sheet", use the following, and fill in your email address, username & password in the empty spaces:
