          When setting up your Conetix-hosted email accounts on Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac, etc.), it is possible to download an automatic configuration file from within Plesk in order to streamline the setup process.

          Information

          This setup is designed for our ‘Business Professional’ hosting plans, rather than for ‘Business Starter’ or legacy hosing plans without SMTP Email Relay.

          Warning

          This procedure should only be used when setting up an email account from scratch, as it will not reconfigure an existing account’s settings on your device.

          1. Log in to Plesk via the Conetix Control Panel.
          2. Navigate to the Mail tab of the domain that your emails are hosted under.
             
          3. Click on the “info” icon next to the email account that you want to set up.

          If you need to access the link on a different device and cannot scan the QR code, either email a copy of the link to your device (using a different email account) or manually type the link into your device’s web browser.
