Once the E-mail Migration of 2018 is complete, customers with an e-mail address that ends with @widomaker.com (or tni.net) will need to update the settings in their e-mail software. This article contains instructions for customers using Apple’s iOS 11.3 on an iPhone or iPad, with the default Apple mobile e-mail app.

  1. Open the ⚙ Settings app on your Apple iOS device.
  2. Scroll down the left-side menu of Settings until you reach Accounts & Passwords. Select or tap on Accounts & Passwords.

  3. On the right-side, select or tap your Widomaker e-mail account.

  4. On the new screen, tap your Widomaker e-mail account.

  5. Edit the “User Name” field. Previously, it only contained your username. Make sure that it contains your full e-mail address, instead of just the username, by adding “@widomaker.com” (without quote marks).
