How to configure mail in an Apple iPhone 7

All Apple devices with the iOS 10.0.1| upgradable to iOS 10.3.2 operating system come by default with an email application with which you can both receive and send email messages.

Before starting the email setup on your iPhone 7 make sure you have the following information:

Email address (example@gmail.com)
Password.
In the event that it is not a Hotmail, iCloud, Microsoft Exchange, Gmail, Yahoo, Aol, Office 365 or Outlook account, you must know if it is a POP or IMAP account and both the incoming and outgoing servers.

The iPhone 7 supports up to version of iOS 14 operating system.

Estimated time: 10 minutes.

To set up an email account at iPhone 7 you must first go to the Apple iPhone 7 settings, it is the gear icon on your Apple.

We look for the "Accounts" section and click on it to access all the accounts configured on our Apple iPhone 7.

All the email accounts configured on our iPhone 7 will appear, both active and inactive, if it is the first email account that you configure on your Apple iPhone 7 you will see this empty list. Click on "Add email account".

5- Fifth step:

There are several types of popular accounts that are easy to set up in the iPhone 7 like iCloud, Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol and Outlook.com. If your email account belongs to one of these mail providers, click on its icon, the system will connect to the selected service and ask for your email account or username and password, in a few steps you will have your email account configured in your Apple iPhone 7. If your email account does not belong to any of the services that appear click on "Other".

6- Sixth step:

The first option that will appear is "Add email account", this is the option we are looking for to configure the email in your Apple. Press this option to continue.

Enter your name (the one you want to appear in the messages you send) your email, your password for this email account and a description to identify it within the Apple iPhone 7. Click "Next".

8- Eighth step:

Select the type of account you want to configure in your Apple iPhone 7, IMAP or POP.
What differentiates an IMAP account from a POP or POP3?
When you set up an IMAP account in your iPhone 7 you keep a copy of the emails in the cloud, that is, in the mail server.
If you delete an email or move it from a folder in your Apple iPhone 7 that change will also occur on the server and therefore on all devices that are configured with the same email account.

On the other hand, if you set your Apple with a POP or POP3 account, the emails are downloaded to the device and can be deleted, read or changed without affecting the other devices that have the same email account.
Usually this configuration is used for shared accounts in which several people want to keep the emails that have been read by others as NOT read or for those who have the email in the mobile and on the computer and do not want the changes to be reflected in the other device.

9- Ninth step:

In "INCOMING MAIL SERVER", in the "Hostname" section you must enter the incoming server, usually mail.yourserver.com or imap.yourserver.com (changing yourserver.com for your domain) in any case consult with your mail provider the configuration.
In "Username" enter your email account and in the next section write the password for your email account.

In "Username" enter your email account again and in the next section enter the password of your email account once more.

11- Final step:

"Mail" will appear active by default and "Notes" will appear deactivated, if you only want to configure the mail, leave it as it appears and finally press "Save" to finalize the configuration of your mail in your iPhone 7.
