How to Set up Your Email Accounts on iPhone or iPad
A new iPhone feels a bit incomplete without setting up your email account. What makes the iPhone a great smartphone also makes it a great communicator. You’ll be able to get through email quite easily. There’s the default Mail app, ready to help you out. But if you want more help dealing with your email, there are a plethora of email apps on the App Store.
Let’s set up your first email account on the new iPhone. Follow the guide below.
No matter if you have a Google, Yahoo, Outlook, Exchange, iCloud or an Aol account, iOS makes it really easy to add these accounts to the settings app. Once you do that, you can start syncing supported services like email, calendars, contacts, notes and more.
Step 1: Open the “Settings” app and select “Mail”.
Step 2: Tap on “Accounts” and select “Add Account”.
Step 3: Then select the service of your choice from the list. In this example, I’m going with Google.
Step 4: You’ll then be asked to enter your email and password. If you’ve got 2-factor authentication turned on, you’ll have a page for that as well.
Step 5: Once your account is linked, you’ll be asked what all services you want to enable. Here, Email will be checked automatically. Optionally, you can choose to enable calendar and contacts sync for the account as well.
Once this is done, just open the Mail app and wait for a while for new emails to show up.
