Setting up qixto mail on your device should be fairly straight forward.

Please ensure that you have an active subscription and then try the instructions below, if you have any problems at all, please let us know – support@qixto.com.

 


Step 1

We can automatically generate a profile for all Apple devices that contains your mail settings, you can download this from our mail server:

https://mail.qixto.com/mobileconfig.php

On your mac, open the Safari web browser and click on the link above which will take you to the website to download the profile.

Note you don’t have to use Safari, but as Safari is an Apple product it will automatically recognise the mail profile and ask you to install it. If you use a different browser, you may need to click on the profile after it has downloaded.

Once you have clicked on the link, you will be prompted to login in order to verify your account.

Login to the website
