You can get PaxMail up and running on your iPhone in 5 minutes. 


There are 3 steps
  1. Install the Mail Profile
  2. Install the Nextcloud App
  3. Install the Calendar/Contact Profile

Some notes before beginning:

  • Safari will need to be your default browser for this to work as only Safari can install configuration profiles
  • Your main Paxmail password will work with the mail profile below, but you'll need a Drive App Password for the CalDav & CardDav profile
    If you see the error  
    • The operation couldn't be completed. (DAAccountVali-dationDomain error 102.) 
    • You are trying to use your main password for the calendar and contacts. Make sure to use your Drive App Password for that profile. (this is different than a mail app password)


Install Mail Profile


To get mail setup, make sure you are logged in to PaxMail, and then click on this link in order to download the mail profile.

You can access the Profile in the Settings App
