Home / Email / How do I set up email on iPhone?
In other articles I’ve detailed how to configure Gmail, Yahoo and even Hotmail accounts on the Apple cell phone. In fact, any email account, as long as it’s POP3 (or IMAP) enabled, can be set up on the iPhone. You are required to know just the login details – username and password – and the incoming and outgoing servers.
FYI, the POP email protocol is a technology used to connect and download messages from the email server. It works in conjunction with SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) which is responsible for sending out messages.
It takes a couple of minutes to set up an email account on the iPhone – just ensure that your mobile phone can connect to the internet. FYI, once email is downloaded to the iPhone, it stays there on the cell phone and can be accessed even without an active net connection; for instance, when you turn the ‘Airplane mode’ on a flight.
As an example, I will set up my personal email on the iPhone. I know this email account can be accessed with POP because I have configured it in an email program. Again, if you are not sure about this, please do get in touch with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or the company that has supplied the email account.
Conclusion: Any email account that can be accessed via POP or IMAP email protocol can be set up on the iPhone.
