Apple A1332, MC676LL/A If You Don’t Have an Email Account, Setting Up an Email Account on iPhone

If You Don’t Have an Email Account

Email accounts are available from most Internet service providers. If you use a Mac, you can get an email address, along with other services, at www.mac.com. Fees may apply.

Free accounts are also available online:

Âwww.mail.yahoo.com

Yahoo! provides free “push” email accounts. With a push email account, email is transferred to iPhone as soon as it is received by the mail server.

To receive push email, you must first set up a Yahoo! account on iPhone.

Âwww.google.com/mail

Âwww.aol.com

Setting Up an Email Account on iPhone

You can set up and make changes to an email account directly on iPhone. Your email service provider can provide the account settings you need to enter.

Changes you make on iPhone to an email account synced from your computer are not copied to your computer.

For help in setting up email accounts on iPhone, use the online iPhone Mail Setup Assistant at:
