Save email on iphone

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.

How to save emails from Mail to Notes as PDFs on iOS

— Mar. 28th 2017 9:37 am PT

I’m really good at managing my inbox (for personal email at least) and rarely leave messages there for keeping. Most emails go in a receipt folder or get deleted, I aggressively unsubscribe to mailing lists and mark spam as junk, and special messages are archived for keeping.

Occasionally I’ll have a message with important information that I don’t need right now and will want to easily reference in the near future. I’ve tried flagging but I don’t entirely understand how the feature is supposed to work between iOS and the Mac.

Usually I just leave the email in my inbox, but what I’d like to do is save the message somewhere with other important information like Apple’s Notes app. Luckily this is possible on iOS, but it’s a bit confusing to discover…

The brute force method here is screenshot the email and save that image, but most emails are more than one screen in length so that’s not an elegant solution. Instead, you can use Apple’s print-to-PDF feature in iOS 10 to easily save the email to Notes. You just need to know where to look to discover this method.

The most natural way to send an email from Mail to Notes would be having a standard share button ( ) available with Notes as an option when sharing. That would be straightforward enough. Instead, you’ll want to look for the ‘Print’ option which is curiously located behind the Reply button.

Simply find the message that you want to save, tap the Reply button which is the fourth icon on the bottom tab bar, and select Print even though we’re not actually printing anything. From the Printer Options screen, pinch the preview of your message outward with a reverse-pinch gesture.

This activates a new preview screen that includes a standard share button ( ) at the bottom right corner. Tap there to activate the share sheet, then tap Add to Notes. From here you can add text to name your new note or select an existing note for saving your message, then tap Save.

Now over on the Notes app you should find your new or updated note that includes a PDF of the message you wanted to save. You can tap the preview to open it and review it in full, mark it up with drawing and text overlay, or share it somewhere else.

In this case, there’s nothing actionable from the email itself, so I can delete the message from my inbox and reference my notes if I need to remember the information it includes.

Apple could definitely make this more streamlined on iOS, but for now it’s a useful feature that just happens to have a few too many confusing steps. Once you learn it, it’s easy to do again in the future.
