Syncing your contacts with your iOS device's address book

The cardDav protocol allows you to sync your mail.com contacts with the contacts app on your iPhone, i.e. any changes made on your iPhone will be available on mail.com and vice versa.

  1. Set up an application-specific password and make a note of it.
  2. On your iPhone home screen, open Settings.
  3. Tap on Calendar.



  4. Tap on Accounts.
  5. Tap on Add Account.
  6. Tap on Other.

  7. Tap on Add CalDAV Account.
  8. Enter the server address caldav.mail.com in the Server field.
  9. Enter your mail.com email address in the Username field and the application-specific password you created in step 1 in the Password field.



  10. Tap on Next.
  11. Tap on Save.
Your mail.com calendar will now sync with your iPhone calendar.
Info:

If you retrieve your emails via POP3/IMAP, you will then need a separate application-specific password. Use this instead of your usual password in the email programme or the email app provided by the other provider.
