My mailbox provider is not listed

If your e-mail is managed by Seznam, the Center, or you have it managed under your own domain, your procedure is a bit more complicated, but certainly not impossible. In this case, it is necessary that you search for the outgoing mail server and the incoming mail server of your provider in advance. If your provider is a public company, for example Seznam, then just visit the service support and find the servers here, or you can ask the Google search engine "List e-mail server" and click on one of the results. If you have your own domain on which you run e-mails, you can find the incoming and outgoing mail server in the web hosting administration. If you do not have access to it, it is necessary that you contact the webmaster or the IT department of your company, who will provide you with the necessary information.

IMAP, POP3 and SMTP

As for the incoming mail server, an IMAP and POP3 server is usually available. Nowadays, you should always choose IMAP, as POP3 is very outdated. In the case of IMAP, all e-mails are stored on the server of the e-mail address provider, in the case of POP3, all e-mails are downloaded to your device. If you have a lot of e-mails, this can make the entire Mail application unusable, which will start to slow down significantly, and at the same time it will fill up the storage. As for the outgoing mail server, it is always necessary to find SMTP. Once you have found the addresses of the incoming and outgoing mail server, just proceed as follows:

• On your iPhone screen, tap the option at the bottom Other.
• Now at the top of the screen tap on Add an email account.
• A screen with text fields intended to be filled in:
  • Name: the name of your mailbox, under which e-mails will be sent;
  • Email: your email address in full;
  • Password: password to your mailbox;
  • Description: the name of the mailbox within the Mail application.
• Once you have filled in these fields, click on the top right Further.
• After a while, another screen will appear that you need to fill out more information.
