# iPhone setup

> Set up your mailbox on your iPhone with a configuration profile.

Getting your Faivelo mailbox onto your iPhone takes two short steps: add the mail account, and (optionally) install the Faivelo configuration profile so your calendar syncs with Apple Calendar.

A Faivelo Android app is coming soon. In the meantime, Android phones work great with any IMAP mail app — see [IMAP & SMTP settings](/mail/imap-smtp-settings).

## Step 1: Add your mail account

1. Open **Settings** on your iPhone.
2. Tap **Mail → Accounts → Add Account**.
3. Tap **Other → Add Mail Account**.
4. Enter your name, full email address (for example, `jane@yourdomain.com`), and your mailbox password, then tap **Next**.
5. Select **IMAP**.
6. For both the incoming and outgoing mail server, enter `mx.faivelo.com`.
7. Tap **Save**.

Your inbox will appear in the Mail app within a few moments.

<docs-aside type="note">

If iOS asks for ports or security settings, use the values from the [IMAP & SMTP settings](/mail/imap-smtp-settings) page: IMAP on port 993 (SSL/TLS) and SMTP on port 587 (STARTTLS), with your full email address as the username.

## Step 2: Install the calendar profile (optional)

Faivelo can generate an Apple **configuration profile** (a `.mobileconfig` file) that adds your Faivelo calendar to your device as a native calendar account. Once installed, events sync both ways with Apple Calendar — invitations you accept in webmail show up on your phone, and events you create on your phone appear in webmail.

1. On your iPhone, open **Safari** and sign in to webmail at [mail.faivelo.com](https://mail.faivelo.com).
2. Download the Faivelo calendar profile from webmail. Safari will confirm: tap **Allow**, and you'll see "Profile Downloaded".
3. Open **Settings**. Tap **Profile Downloaded** near the top (or go to **General → VPN & Device Management**).
4. Tap **Install**, enter your device passcode if asked, and confirm.

That's it — your Faivelo calendar now appears in the Apple Calendar app.

<docs-aside type="caution" title="Use Safari">

The profile download only works in **Safari**. Other browsers on iOS can't hand configuration profiles to Settings.

<docs-aside type="tip">

Don't want to use a profile? You can add the calendar manually instead: go to **Settings → Calendar → Accounts → Add Account → Other → Add CalDAV Account**, and use server `mx.faivelo.com` with your email address and mailbox password. The same steps are shown in webmail under the calendar's sync settings.

## Removing the profile

If you no longer want calendar sync on a device, go to **Settings → General → VPN & Device Management**, select the Faivelo profile, and tap **Remove Profile**. Your mail account is separate and won't be affected.
