---+ Accessing CSAIL IMAP from an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch)

---++ Initial setup
The below instructions assume iOS 3.x or above. (Settings -> General -> About -> Version)

   1. From the home screen, tap "Settings" (gear icon), then "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"
   1. Tap "Add Account...", "Other", then "Add Mail Account"
   1. Enter your name, email address @csail.mit.edu, and [[EmailTopics#Account_Creation_and_Management][IMAP/webmail password,]] as in [A], then tap "Save". 
      * Under Incoming Mail Server, use "Host Name:" =imap.csail.mit.edu= and your CSAIL "User Name:".
      * Under Outgoing Mail Server, use "Host Name:" =outgoing.csail.mit.edu= as well as "User Name:" and re-enter your IMAP "Password:" as in [B], then tap "Save".
   1. After a minute, you should see "Your account has been verified."
   1. Tap "SMTP: outgoing.csail.mit.edu", then "outgoing.csail.mit.edu". Change "Use SSL" to "ON", then go back by tapping "&lt; SMTP" and "&lt; !you@csail.mit.edu".
   1. Tap "Advanced".  "Drafts" and "Deleted Mailbox" should list "On My iPhone", as in [C].  If not, tap the mailbox name, then tap already-selected "On My iPhone" folder.  We recommend sharing your sent mailbox with other mail clients - for "Sent", navigate under "On the Server" to select Sent. 
   1. Customize further as desired.  When satisfied, *press back until you can press "Done" to save settings* before pressing Home and checking your mail using the "Mail" icon.

---++ Troubleshooting
   * *Problems sending mail?* Make sure that Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar -> [Your CSAIL address] -> Account -> Outgoing Mail Server/SMTP shows =outgoing.csail.mit.edu=.
   * *Deleting messages gives "can't move to trash"?* Re-do steps 6 and 7, above.
