How to Setup E-mail on Your iPhone

Here is how to set up your email on your iPhone for the first time.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Activated iPhone
• Email account
• Couple of minutes

1. First thing you need to do is click on 'Mail'.

2. Choose your email account type: Gmail, Y! Mail (for Yahoo!), .Mac, AOL, or whatever email you use.

3. Enter your email account information. If this is a 'regular' account like yahoo, msn, comcast or any other provider you are now done, otherwise, keep reading!

4. Click Other, select a server type—IMAP, POP, or Exchange—and enter your account information.
   
   * Your email address
   * The email server type (IMAP, POP, or Exchange)
   * The Internet host name for your incoming mail server (which should look like 'mail.example.com')
   * The Internet host name for your outgoing mail server ('smtp.example.com')
   * Your user name and password for incoming and outgoing servers (you may not need to enter a user name and password for an outgoing server)

Tips & Warnings

• Exchange email accounts have to be configured for IMAP in order to work with iPhone. Contact your IT organization for more information.
• Don't be daunted, this is just as easy as setting it up from home or work!
• If this is not the first time you are setting mail up, you are just adding an account go to your home screen and choose Settings > Mail > Accounts > Add Account.
• Changes that you make to your account on the iPhone are not reflected on your computer!
