Before you begin, it’s best to make sure you’re running the latest iOS version. It doesn’t mean you won’t have access to this Mail feature, but it’ll help you follow the steps here properly.
Apple designed Mail to let you add common email providers easily. The common email providers in this case are iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, Google, Yahoo, AOL, and Outlook. Here’s how to add any one of these:
- Open Settings on your iPhone.
- Scroll down to Mail and tap it to open the Mail panel. From here, you can control most of Mail’s settings and display options. Some people might make the mistake of searching inside the app instead.
- Tap Accounts and select Add Account.
- Select which email provider your email account is registered with. As a general govern of thumb, you would know based on what domain your email is attached to.
- A popup browser will appear requesting your details.
- After you’ve signed in successfully, you will be redirected back to Settings, where a page for permissions for your new account will appear.
- Make sure to toggle on Mail. You can toggle all the others based on your discretion.
- Tap Save when you’re finished.
You can repeat this process with as many accounts as you want. But if you want to add an email account that’s not one of the “common” ones, you should read advocate.
