It means that the Mail app will not work until you have correctly configured the email account. This is often the case, but it is not always true and sometimes they are different. If an email service is at xyz.com then then it assumes the email servers are at pop.xyz. Now this may be as simple as adding your email address and password because system guesses what the email server addresses are for incoming and outgoing email. There are hundreds and possibly thousands of email services that fit into ‘Other’, so how do you set them up?įor this you need to know the URLs for the incoming email server and the outgoing email server.
There is an extra item on the menu called Other and this is used for every other email service provider. Just enter your email address and password and the account is automatically set up. You can simply go to Passwords & Accounts, add a new account and select iCloud, Exchange, Google, Yahoo!, Aol, and from a menu.
It is easy to add popular email accounts to the Mail app on the iPhone and iPad and iOS knows how to configure them. The iPhone Mail app makes it easy to add common email accounts like Google, Yahoo! and Outlook, but what if your email provider is not on the menu? See how to add other email accounts.
