Your iPhone allows you to set up an email account in the Mail app manually or automatically. Automatic email account set up is usually used for email providers like Google, Yahoo, or Google. You can have your account added in the iPhone’s Mail app in no time for as long as you’ve got your email address and password ready.

If you’re new to iOS and wondering how to get this done on your recently purchased iPhone 14 smartphone, then you can always refer to these subsequent instructions.

  1. From the Home screen, find the gear-shaped icon then tap on it to launch the iOS settings app.

Should you wish to add another account in Mail, just repeat the above steps until you get to the part where you’ll choose the email service provider and provide the email account details. 

Just be sure to set the default account that you’d like to use for the Mail app so that you’ll get access to the correct inbox.

Manual Email Account Setup

When you set up your email account manually, the Mail app will try to find the email settings that you entered then complete your account setup. If the Mail successfully locates your email settings, the account setup is successful. Otherwise, you will need to review and re-enter your account details from scratch.

You can always contact your email service provider if you aren’t sure of which email settings to use for your account, particularly the Incoming Mail Server and Outgoing Mail Server for IMAP and POP emails.

A lookup tool is also available from the Apple support page that you can refer to when needed.

And that’s how you set up or add a new account for use on the iPhone 14 Mail application.
