Updated 2 weeks ago by Tristan Payne

Apple Devices

This guide will cover adding calendar and contacts to your Apple Devices.

Before you start, open cPanel and go to Email > Calendars and Contacts Configuration. That page shows the username, password hint and Server URL for your account, and you will need the Server URL below. Calendars and Contacts in cPanel explains it in more detail.

Access the configuration screen

1. Tap Settings.
2. Tap Apps.

To complete the setup of your account, perform the following steps:

1. Enter your information in the appropriate text boxes. For example:
   • Server — the Server URL shown on your Calendars and Contacts Configuration page in cPanel. Copy it exactly, including the :2080 on the end. It is your server's address rather than your own domain name, so don't substitute your domain here.
   • User Name — youremail@yourdomain.com
   • Password — This is your email password (The same password that you use for your WebMail login.)
   • Description — This can be anything.

Important:

   You must add :2080 at the end of the server name for the setup to work correctly.
