How to Set Up an iPhone Mail Account

Video Transcript

"A great feature that the iPhone has built in is its own mail client. With this software you can check your e-mails, write e-mails, respond to e-mails, anything that you want to do as far as e-mails. It's right there on the bottom right, it says mail, and has a little envelope. We'll click that. One of the things that you want to do is go into your settings, and you can set up your type of account. The iPhone responds to several different famous clients right now. I have this one set up with Gmail. You can also set it up with pop3 accounts, which are your corporate, or business e-mails if you have your own URL. It says inbox, sent and trash, and we'll click inbox. It will load several e-mails that we've had in here, whether they're new or old. Just like you check your e-mail on your computer, you can double click on whatever you want and it will load it in there, pictures and all. We'll go back one, go to another e-mail; we'll just click this one for now. We can scroll through, and there's our message. If we want to respond to something we click the hyperlink, and it will bring up our new message box. In here, we can type whatever we wanted to type to whomever we want to send it to. We'll get out of this, we'll cancel. No, I don't want to save the message. We'll go back to the inbox, and then we'll go back to the mailboxes. If we want to go through and see what's in our trash, or if we want to go through and see messages that we've previously sent, this is the way to do it. Once you're done, click our menu button and it takes you back. Those are the basics of mailing, receiving, pretty much anything that you want to do with e-mail."
