The purpose of this page is to describe how to change the settings on an iOS 26 device
previously set up with OlympusNet email using Setup iOS 26 Email.

Use these instructions if a password has been changed, or if there were errors during the setup of the device.
The most common setup error is mistyping the email password.

These instructions are for iPhones and iPads using IMAP.

6. Scroll down to the Incoming Mail Server. If you’ve changed the email password with OlympusNet staff, remove the dots in the password field and type in the new Password.

   Check that its spelling is correct.
