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:

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.
