Setting up Gmail, Yahoo, AOL and Hotmail accounts
1
Tap the Settings icon on your
iPhone’s Home screen. Scroll
down and click on Passwords &
Accounts, then and Add Account. This
takes you to the list of email accounts
that you can configure on your iPhone,
such as iCloud or Google accounts.
2
From this screen, tap on either the
Gmail, Yahoo, AOL or Microsoft
Hotmail link (the process is the same). On
this screen you need to enter your name,
email address and your password for this
account. Finally enter a description of the
account. Click the Next link to continue.
3
From this screen, you can select
which features of your email
account you also wish to sync with your
iPhone. When you have made your
selections, and are happy to continue, all
you have to do to complete the process is
tap the Save link and you are ready to go.
Setting up other types of email account
1
Go to Settings > Passwords &
Accounts > Add Account once
more. If you wish to add a Microsoft
Exchange account, tap the Exchange
option on the screen shown above. If it’s a
service provided by your ISP (Internet
Service Provider), tap Other at the bottom.
2
You will have to visit the support
website of your email provider and
seek out their help in setting up either a
POP or IMAP email account on your
iPhone. As these details are all different for
each provider, we can, alas, only send you
in their direction for help.
3
Once you have obtained all the
required information from your email
provider, you must then enter these details
as requested. When complete, you are
ready to go; your iPhone contacts the
email server in question and downloads
any emails you have for this account.
