Choose your account
- Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then tap Add Account.

- Mail will try to find the email settings and finish your account setup. Once it is done, tap Done to complete your account setup successfully.
If Mail can’t find your email settings, you need to enter them manually. After you enter your email address and password, tap Next, then follow these steps:
- Choose IMAP or POP for your new account (contact your email provider if no sure).
- Enter the information for Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server.
- Then tap Next.
- If you don’t have this information, contact your Email provider.
- If your email settings are correct, tap Save to finish. In case the email settings are incorrect, you’ll be asked to edit them.
