Phone setup (iPhone & Android)
Use the same password as mailme.nz sign-in. Prefer IMAP (not POP) so your phone, computer, and webmail stay in sync.
Server settings (both platforms)
Email / username
Full address, e.g.
you@mailme.nzPassword
Your mailme password
IMAP (incoming)
mail.websnz.co.nzSMTP (outgoing)
mail.websnz.co.nzSMTP login
On — same full email + password
Apps sometimes hide “outgoing authentication”. If you can receive but not send, turn SMTP authentication on.
SMTP: prefer port
465 with SSL/TLS (encryption from the first byte). Port 587 with STARTTLS also works — use whichever your phone app handles best.
