You will need the following information:

  • Server: your domain name or server name followed by :2080

  • Username: your full email address

Your cPanel calendar is now synchronized with the Calendar app on your iPhone.

Troubleshooting

Make sure that:

  • your full email address is used as the username;

  • the server includes the :2080 port.

If the connection still does not work, consult the “Calendars and Contacts Configuration” section of your Webmail to verify the connection information provided for your account.
