Parameters to configure Aruba mail
To configure Aruba mail, you need to open your e-mail client (ie the program you intend to use to manage your e-mails) and enter the "coordinates" of the Aruba servers. These "coordinates" vary according to the protocol to be used to manage e-mail. In fact, you can choose between the protocol IMAP and protocol POP3.
The IMAP protocol, which is the one I recommend you use, is more modern and allows the use of the same account on multiple devices at the same time while keeping messages synchronized (both incoming and outgoing) on all workstations, while the protocol POP3 is older and requires the use of the e-mail service on a single device, in fact it deletes messages from remote servers as soon as they are downloaded to the PC (except for the activation of special backup functions).
Having made this necessary distinction, to be able to configure Aruba mail on your e-mail client and to be able to use it without problems, fill in the fields displayed on the screen by entering the following coordinates. Know that the information I am about to give you is valid for both mailboxes linked to a domain (of the type boxname@domainname.ext) and for mailboxes with the suffix @ aruba.com or @ technet.com. They are NOT valid for PEC boxes.

To access the Aruba mailboxes you can use the browser directly: for traditional mailboxes (including those connected to a domain) just contact this Web panel, while for PEC mailboxes just log in on the PEC.com site . But if you are here it seems clear to me that you don't want to use the Web version of Aruba Mail: you want to configure Aruba mail in your favorite mail client and use that, right?

If following the configuration procedure of the Aruba email you should see an error message, try to consult this page of the official Aruba website where there are instructions to configure various email clients.
Configure Aruba mail on smartphones and tablets
The easiest way to access Aruba mailboxes from smartphones and tablets is to use the official Aruba apps.
- WebMail Aruba.com allows you to use traditional mailboxes through the Web Mail service which is also accessible from a browser. It is available for Android, iOS and Windows Phone.
- Aruba PEC Mobile allows you to use Aruba certified mailboxes. It is available for Android and iOS.
If you are not satisfied with the official Aruba apps, you can access your mailboxes using third-party clients, such as Mail your iPhone or Email on Android. How? Obviously, using the IMAP / POP parameters that I provided you in the paragraphs dedicated to Aruba Mail or Aruba PEC.
For example, if you use a iPhone or iPad and you want to exploit Mail, the default iOS e-mail client, you can configure Aruba mail by pressing the icon of settings present on the home screen, by selecting the item Mail from the screen that opens and first tapping on Account and then Add account. At this point, go on Other, select the voice Add Mail Account and fill in the fields displayed on the screen with the IMAP / POP parameters of your Aruba mailbox.
If you use a smartphone or tablet Android and you want to take advantage of the default client of your device, you can configure Aruba mail by starting the app E-mail present in the screen where all the apps are grouped, by typing your e-mail address and the password associated with it in the fields E-mail address e Password and then pressing on the voice Config. manual located at the top right.
You can then configure Aruba mail by starting the wizard for adding a new e-mail address, taking care to choose the type of protocol to use between IMAP e POP3 and typing the same data that I have already given you in the previous lines explaining how to configure Aruba mail on a computer.
In completing the procedure by which to configure Aruba mail linked to a domain (of the type mailbox name@domainname.ext), however, keep in mind that it is necessary to make sure that the relative option to server authentication regarding the outgoing mail server is active.
If you have any problems, try taking a look at the Aruba website page dedicated to setting up email on portable devices.
