Simmons email on an iPhone
Someone posted a comment on one of my endless iPhone / Meeting Maker calendar posts asking about Simmons Webmail on the iPhone, so I figured answering was worth a separate post.
Syncing Simmons email with the iPhone is a snap!
For the settings you need to get email on your iPhone, see Set up your email software to access Simmons email
On the iPhone, roughly speaking, here are the steps:
* Settings
* Mail, Contacts, Calendar
* Add Account
* Other
* Fill in the blanks
* Keep the IMAP tab highlighted, and then use the settings as directed at Set up your email software to access Simmons email
* Make sure you include your username and password in the "Outgoing mail server" section, or you won't be able to send email from your iPhone using your Simmons account.
By setting up your iPhone for "IMAP" access, mail you read on your iPhone will be marked as "read" in WebMail, and everything you send will land in the sent messages folder you see in your Webmail as well. Hmmm. Well, actually, the name of the sent mail folder may be different from the default name Webmail uses, but anyway, the outgoing mail will be there, somewhere.
Note: if you already use separate email software to read your Simmons email, like Apple Mail, Outlook, or Thunderbird, you can sync your email settings through iTunes. However, I've often found that setting up the account directly on the iPhone more likely ensures the settings will be correct. Don't ask me why "I've often found": I like to play!
