Setting Up Email
On Your iPhone
Your iPhone’s Mail app can send and receive emails from all of your email
accounts. It’s easy to set up and use with an iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL or
Outlook email address. If you want to add your Internet Service Provider’s
own email account, it is a little more complicated. Here we take you through
setting up each type of email account on your Apple smartphone.

From here tap Add Account, then on the
iCloud link and enter your Apple ID and
Password. If you don’t have an Apple ID,
tap Create a New Apple ID instead and
follow the instructions. Tap Next to
automatically verify your details.2
If you have Two-Factor
Authentication on, you must
authenticate now. Enter the verification
code or tap the link and follow the
instructions if you didn’t get one. If you’re
asked whether you want to allow iCloud to
access your location and use Find My
iPhone, we suggest you agree.3

iPhone’s apps use the iCloud. Slide the
Mail link to the On position. Deactivate any
applications you don’t want to sync with
iCloud (you can always reactivate them
later), and then tap Save in the top right
corner to complete the setup.Setting up accounts.
