# iPhone and iPad

Add the alias as an extra outgoing server on the mail account you already use.

## Before you start

In YeyMail on any device: **Aliases → open the alias → Send as this alias (SMTP)** and set a password. You'll need to type it on the phone, so pick something you can enter without pain, or paste it from a password manager.

## Steps

1. **Settings → Apps → Mail → Mail Accounts** (on older iOS: *Settings → Mail → Accounts*).
2. Tap the account you read mail in, then tap it again at the top to open account details.
3. Tap **SMTP** under *Outgoing Mail Server*.
4. Under *Other SMTP Servers*, tap **Add Server…**
5. Fill it in:

   | Field     | Value                                      |
   | --------- | ------------------------------------------ |
   | Host Name | `mx1.yeymail.com`                          |
   | User Name | the full alias, e.g. `shop@yourdomain.com` |
   | Password  | the SMTP password you set                  |
6. Tap **Save**. iOS will test the connection; give it a moment.
7. Tap the server you just added and check: **Use SSL** on, **Server Port** `587`, **Authentication** Password.

## Sending from the alias

iOS picks the From address from the account, so add the alias to it:

1. Back in the account settings, tap your name/email at the top.
2. In the **Email** field, tap it and add the alias as an additional address.
3. When composing, tap the **Cc/Bcc, From** line and choose the alias.

## If it doesn't work

**"Cannot Connect Using SSL"**: tap through it and set the port to `587` manually. iOS tries 465 first, which we don't run. "Use SSL" combined with port 587 gives STARTTLS, which is correct.

**It saves but mail won't send**: check the outgoing server is switched **On** in the *Other SMTP Servers* list, and that the From address matches the alias in *User Name*.

## Android

If you use the **Gmail app**, set the alias up on Gmail's website first (see [Set up in Gmail](/using-yeymail/sending-and-replying/gmail.md)), and it appears in the app's From menu automatically. There's no way to add an SMTP server in the Gmail app itself.

For other Android apps, use the settings in [Other mail apps](/using-yeymail/sending-and-replying/other-mail-apps.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.yeymail.com/using-yeymail/sending-and-replying/iphone-and-ipad.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
