# Set up email on Mac and iPhone
Source: https://docs.webgee.com/en/email/apple-macos-ios



Add your WebGee mailbox to Apple Mail, Contacts and Calendar on a Mac, iPhone or
iPad. Applies to every WebGee Workspace mailbox.

The fastest route is a configuration profile, which fills in every server
setting for you. Set it up by hand only if you need to change the defaults.

## Install the configuration profile [#install-the-configuration-profile]

A profile configures your mail, contacts and calendars in one step.

1. On the device you want to set up, open
   [the WebGee Mail profile](https://webmail.webgee.com/mobileconfig.php).
2. Approve the download, then open **Settings → Profile Downloaded** on iPhone
   or iPad, or **System Settings → General → VPN & Device Management** on a Mac.
3. Select **Install** and enter your device passcode or Mac password.
4. Enter your mailbox password when prompted.

<Callout type="info">
  You are asked for your mailbox password up to three times — once each for
  mail, contacts and calendars. It is the same password every time.
</Callout>

Open Mail. Your messages begin downloading.

### Mail only, without contacts and calendars [#mail-only-without-contacts-and-calendars]

If you keep contacts and calendars elsewhere, use
[the mail-only profile](https://webmail.webgee.com/mobileconfig.php?only_email)
instead and follow the same steps. You are asked for your password once.

## Set it up by hand [#set-it-up-by-hand]

Use this if you would rather not install a profile, or you need settings the
profile does not cover.

1. Open **Settings → Apps → Mail → Mail Accounts** on iPhone or iPad, or
   **Mail → Settings → Accounts** on a Mac.
2. Select **Add Account**, then **Other**.
3. Enter your name, full email address and mailbox password.
4. When asked for server details, enter the values from
   [Email server settings](/en/email/manual-configuration).

## Push email on iPhone and iPad [#push-email-on-iphone-and-ipad]

Apple Mail checks for new messages on a schedule. For messages to arrive the
moment they are sent, add the account as Exchange instead:

1. Open **Settings → Apps → Mail → Mail Accounts → Add Account**.
2. Select **Exchange**.
3. Enter your email address and select **Next**.
4. Enter your mailbox password, then select **Next**.
5. Select **Save**.

<Callout type="warn">
  Exchange stores a maximum of three email addresses per contact. If you keep
  more than that, use the configuration profile instead.
</Callout>

## Check it worked [#check-it-worked]

Send yourself a message from [webmail](https://webmail.webgee.com). It should
appear in Apple Mail within a few seconds on Exchange, or at the next scheduled
check otherwise.

If it does not arrive, confirm your password by signing in to webmail directly —
an incorrect password is by far the most common cause.
