# Manual Email Setup (iOS)

**Manual Email Setup (iOS)** refers to the process of configuring a university email account on an iPhone or iPad by manually entering the server and security parameters in the system settings.

## Configuration Parameters
To establish a connection to the [[central-email-service]], the following settings must be used:

| Direction | Protocol | Server | Port | Encryption |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Incoming | [[imap]] | `imap.uni-greifswald.de` | 143 | [[starttls]] |
| Outgoing | [[smtp]] | `smtp.uni-greifswald.de` | 587 | [[starttls]] (Authenticated) |

## Authentication
Authentication is performed using the credentials of the [[zentraler-nutzeraccount]], specifically the URZ username (UID) and the corresponding password.

## Use Cases
Manual setup is required in two scenarios:
1. When the user prefers not to use a configuration profile.
2. When the user needs to synchronize the [[groupware]] calendar, which requires the selection of the **Exchange account type** during the manual setup process.
