How to configure ActiveSync (Exchange) account on iPhone

This tutorial shows you how to synchronize emails, contacts, and appointments of your Namecheap Private Email account on your iPhone. We will use a test email account example@ncsupport.info in this guide.

NOTE: before setting up email account this way, make sure you already have required DNS records and mailbox created.

NOTE1: If you've set up a Two Factor Authentication (2FA) for your mailbox and wish to use Exchange (ActiveSync) connection, you will need to set up an Application Specific Password. This guide should be useful.

3. From listed options, select Exhange:



4. Specify the full email address and set a description of the email account and click Next. Then, click Sign in.


On the next step, enter the password for the Private Email address.


5. Now you need to enter your full email address, server name, exchange username then enter your account password:

  • Email: your full email address (example@ncsupport.info)
  • Server: privateemail.com
  • Username: local part of the email address (example)
  • Password: one from your Namecheap Private Email email account
