Setting up an iPhone for SmarterMail InteractiveWebs Email
There are multiple ways you can connect to your InteractiveWebs email account. These methods include, POP3, IMAP, or EXCHANGE. This method covers the Exchange connection method.

What you will need:

Your Email address: example@email.com (not that the email address is also your user name)

Your Email Account Password

In this example we are using iOS 14, and roverx.com.au as the domain with “servcie” being the email address. Note too that we have “Dark Mode” enabled for a black background look. Yours may look a little different.

Open you iPhone and Select the Settings Icon

Navigate to Mail

Select Accounts

Select Add Account

We are going to set this up as an EXCHANGE account. To do this we need to select “Microsoft Exchange” from the Add Account List.

Enter Your Email Address and a Description of your choice. This Description will be listed on your iPhone Email Accounts List

When the POPup flashes up, select Sign In

Enter the account password we provided you

Enter the Email Address again in the User Name field (showing required). In other words, the email address is also your user name.

So it will look like this. – then NEXT

When you press NEXT, it will pop up and ask you to enter the Mail Server Address. Enter mail.domain as the format. So for oceanfoam.com.au it becomes mail.oceanfoam.com.au – Then Click NEXT

It will Verify your Settings

You can then click SAVE and you are done.

You then have an option to create NOTES, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders for this account. Feel free to either enable or disable this function as you require. If you enable these on your phone and when you setup your Email account as an exchange account on your desktop computer. You will be able to sync all data over your exchange email account.

That essentially completed the process for adding an account to your iPhone for SmarterMail with InteractiveWebs.

If you wish to setup IMAP as the connection type.

While some business need face to face to remain active, we are lucky that for 20 years we have been providing virtual meetings and online interaction for our website design services based in Sutherland Sydney Australia.

This really comes as no great surprise, as the need to meet face to face to develop a website solution has only become less necessary over recent years as the rise of very stable internet connections and advance software allows us to interact with customers virtually.

That all being the case, we are pleased to announce that we have in place a number of safe guards that allow us to meet with customers in person in a COVID-19 safe environment where we can all feel safe.

Website Auditor Reports Empty Title Tag wp-content/uploads/fbrfg/site.webmanifest on a WordPress Site

Do you notice in the website order application that reports empty title tags on a page that ends in sight.manifest. 

When you browse to the page in question you’ll find the code looks something like this on the page that loads.

{
“name”: “”,
“short_name”: “”,
“icons”: [
{
“src”: “/wp-content/uploads/fbrfg/android-chrome-192×192.png”,
“sizes”: “192×192”,
“type”: “image/png”
},
{
“src”: “/wp-content/uploads/fbrfg/android-chrome-512×512.png”,
“sizes”: “512×512”,
“type”: “image/png”
}
],
“theme_color”: “#ffffff”,
“background_color”: “#ffffff”,
“display”: “standalone”
}

Usually you will find that there is an associated Plugin called Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator that is responsible for generating a page in question. This plug-in is used to provide a favicon for your website.

The good news is, that since early versions of WordPress 4 WordPress allows you usually within your thing to upload a favicon. There is some good information about installing a Favicon in WordPress here.

We are using the Neve theme on our site, and the process may differ depending on your theme an the support they have for favicon.

To Fix this

we go to: Appearance >> Customise >> Header >> Change Logo

Down the Bottom there is a Site Icon Setting where you can Change the image.

Know what the site specifically needs is a square that is ideally 512×512 pixels. We found the easiest way to generate this on the Mac is using an application that we got from the App Store called icon Set Creator, which is a simple icon generating application that is designed for developers if iOs and Mac Apps. It is perfect as it does all the sizing and squaring of the image automatically. When we select the output as macOS, some of the images that are auto generated include a 512×512 image that is perfectly optimised for use as a favicon image.

We just use the output from this to create the favicon in the settings above. 

Then if you are using the Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator plugin in WordPress, be rue to deactivate it and potentially uninstall it.

That should get the error removed from the SEO PowerSuite Website Auditor report.

Setting Up Exchange Connection with Windows 10 Mail App

InteractiveWebs SmarterMail supports Exchange Connections, here is some background.

Effectively there are 3 main methods.

POP3 – Where email is Downloaded off the Server to your device. This is least useful as having 2 or more devices like a mobile phone and a computer account can cause you confusion as email may arrive in one location but not on the other devices. If you answer an email on one device it is not apparent on the other devices. Generally this is a very confusing email service.

IMAP – Leaves email on the email server and will sync a copy to your deices. This is you read a message on your phone, that is marked as read on the server and this syncs with your email on your computer to reflect that your email has been read. Same with replying and deleting etc. All your devices are synced with the server and reflect the same information on each. It is powerful but will not offer Calendar, Contact and in some cases Notes syncing over all devices.

Exchange – This is the gold standard for email as it offers the advantages of IMAP, but includes the syncing of Calendars, Contacts, Notes as well as email. Letting you run your life from any device and syncing all items you manage in your life over all devices you own.

The Problem – Microsoft own technology and license are required to run Exchange Connections. There are two connection technologies that can be licensed and InteractiveWebs has both. We offer connections for desktop devices included, and offer a mobile device license as an option.

There are several connection technologies that will connect to Exchange. We provide MAPI / EWS connections in our service, but we can also offer a technology originally designed for Mobile connections called EAS (Exchange Active Sync).

Connecting to Exchange InteractiveWebs SmarterMail with some client programs like Mail App on Windows 10 or some earlier Outlook Versions on Windows 7 etc will not work unless you have EAS enabled. If you have troubles setting up an Exchange Connection to your email account, contact us an we will have happy to enable the service on your account. This will likely fix any troubles you are having. This includes the fact that some technologies like Microsoft Outlook on mobile will often be updated and can change the function. Enabling EAS will solve any problems that arise.

Mail App on Windows 10 Requires EAS to make Exchange Connection

Request EAS Services for your Email account here.

We will then enable this on your email account and advise you that it has been done.

After this, you can set up Exchange Connection.

Accounts

Add Account

Select Office 365, Exchange

Enter your Email address

Enter your password

That should complete the process.

If after setup you see an 

This indicates that the account is not working as expected and likely that EAS is not enabled on your account. Request the service above, or contact us to check that we have enabled EAS on the correct account.
