Mail accounts on iphone

How to Add a New Email Account to iPhone or iPad

Most iPhone and iPad users already have one email account setup on their iOS device, but you can easily add a new email address to the iPhone or iPad, or even multiple new email addresses to the same device, all to be managed in the same Mail app of iOS. This is nice for those of us who juggle multiple email accounts for personal, work, and other purposes.

This tutorial will walk through adding and setting up new email accounts or additional email addresses on the iPhone or iPad. After a new email account is setup and configured in iOS, you can check emails, send, receive, reply, forward, and perform any other email functions from all of the addresses on the device.

How to Add & Setup an Email Account on iPhone and iPad

This will add a new email address of your choice to the iPhone or iPad. If you want to add multiple email accounts to the iPhone or iPad, repeat the process outlined below:

Open the “Settings” app on the iPhone or iPad

Choose the “Passwords & Accounts” option in iOS 13 and later, choose “Mail” settings option in iOS 12 and earlier

Tap on “Accounts” at the top of the Mail settings

Choose “Add Account”

Enter your email account address and login information as instructed*

Optionally and applicable to some email providers only, choose whether to enable other account functions like calendars, contacts, and other related abilities

After the email account has been added to iOS, you can then open the Mail app to find the new email account available to access and use as normal.

You can check the email account for new messages, send, receive, reply, forward, and do all other email functionality from any email account added to an iPhone or iPad.

* Most of the time the appropriate mail servers and settings will be detected automatically, for some smaller email providers and for some ISP email accounts, you can adjust these settings manually using your own information for mail servers, ports, protocols, and other server-side adjustments if necessary.

If you’re like me and have multiple email accounts setup in iOS, you will likely want to set the default email address used on the iPhone or iPad to the desired email account. You can change the default email address at any time in the Mail settings, but you can also change what email address any specific message is sent from by adjusting the “From” section when you’re sending off a message or email.

Can I create a new email address for the iPhone or iPad?

Yes, you can add an existing email address to the iPhone or iPad, or you can create a brand new email address if you want to do that too. Any of the email services offered in the setup process make this easy: Gmail, Outlook / Hotmail, Yahoo, and if you use iCloud you can create an @ iCloud.com email address directly on the device too.

If you setup or add a new account and decided you don’t want it on your iPhone or iPad, don’t worry, because email accounts can be deleted from iOS at anytime.

Managing multiple email inboxes on iPhone, iPad

By default the Mail app will show all mail inboxes with the “All Inboxes” mailbox, and the email app will also automatically check for new emails from all setup accounts and email addresses. You can also choose to show only specific email inboxes or toggle into those individually if desired:

1. Open the “Mail” app and tap the “Mailboxes” button in the upper left corner
2. Choose the Email inbox to show email messages for, or choose “All Inboxes” to show emails for all email accounts setup on the device

Personally I prefer the universal all mail inbox approach so that all emails to all email accounts are visible on the same screen, but I use this iOS tip to quickly show only unread emails to filter and help manage multiple inboxes and email accounts.

This obviously focuses on iPhone and iPad, but for those with desktop computers you can also add new email accounts to the Mac just as easily.

Finally, it’s worth mentioning another strategy for managing multiple email accounts on iPhone and iPad: using different email apps. This is possible with Gmail, Yahoo, and many popular email services as well, which have their own individual email apps available from the App Store as third party downloads. The benefit to that approach is that each email address gets silo’d into it’s own app, which can make it easier for some users to manage.

Add an email account to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

There are two ways that you can set up an email account in the Mail app on your iOS device — automatically or manually. Learn which option is best for you.

How to set up your email account automatically

If you use an email provider like iCloud, Google, or Yahoo, Mail can automatically set up your email account with just your email address and password. Here’s how:

1. Go to Settings > Mail, then tap Accounts.
   
2. Tap Add Account, then select your email provider.
3. Enter your email address and password.
4. If you see Next, tap Next and wait for Mail to verify your account.
5. If you see Save, tap Save.

If you don’t see your email provider, tap Other to add your account manually.

How to set up your email account manually

If you need to set up your email account manually, make sure that you know the email settings for your account. If you don’t know them, you can look them up or contact your email provider. Then follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings > Mail, then tap Accounts.
2. Tap Add Account, tap Other, then tap Add Mail Account.
3. Enter your name, email address, password, and a description for your account.
   
4. Tap Next. Mail will try to find the email settings and finish your account setup. If Mail finds your email settings, tap Done to complete your account setup.

Enter account settings manually

If Mail can’t find your email settings, then you need to enter them manually. Tap Next, then follow these steps:

1. Choose IMAP or POP for your new account. If you aren’t sure which one to choose, contact your email provider.
2. Enter the information for Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server. Then tap Next. If you don’t have this information, try to look it up.
   
3. If your email settings are correct, tap Save to finish. If the email settings are incorrect, you’ll be asked to edit them.

If you still can’t set up your email account or save your email settings, contact your email provider.
