Easy Steps to Add Email to Apple Mail on iPhone and Mac

Apple Mail lets you check every email account you have in one place. Instead of opening Gmail for work emails and Outlook for personal ones, you can see them all together. Setting this system enables both time efficiency and better organization of your tasks. The following guidelines will help you set up this feature on iPhone, iPad, or Mac systems.

Do these steps to add your email

1. Open the Settings App
   Find the gray gear icon on your home screen. Tap it to open Settings.
2. Find the Mail Section
   Scroll down until you see Mail. Tap it.
3. Tap on Accounts
   Look for Accounts (older iPhones say Accounts & Passwords).
4. Add Your Email Account
   Tap Add Account at the bottom of the screen.
5. Choose Your Email Service
   Pick Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, or another provider. Tap Other if your email is not listed (like a school or work account).
6. Sign In
   Type your email address and password. Make sure the Mail switch is turned on. You can also turn on Contacts or Calendars if you want those in your Apple apps.
7. Save Your Settings
   Tap Save. Your emails will now show up in the Mail app.

Helpful Tip
To see all emails from every account in one list, open the Mail app and tap Mailboxes > All Inboxes.
