Select the email provider you want to add, and then enter your email address and password. Make sure to use the correct email address and password, as this will determine which emails you receive on your iPhone.

Setting Up Email Accounts

If you're not sure which email provider to choose, contact your email provider. If Mail can't find your email settings automatically, you need to enter them manually. Choose IMAP or POP for your new account, then enter the information for Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server.

If you still can't set up your email account or save your email settings, contact your email provider. To add an email account manually, follow these steps: Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts, then tap Add Account. Tap the email service you want to use, then enter your email account information.

If you're using an account from a source other than iCloud, Google, Yahoo!, AOL, Outlook, or Microsoft Exchange, you'll need to follow additional steps.
