The Accounts section lets you set up accounts on iPhone. The specific settings that appear depend on the type of account you’re setting up. Your service provider or system administrator should be able to provide the information you need to enter.
For more information, see:
Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account, then make the changes you want.
Changes you make to an account’s settings on iPhone are not synced to your computer, so you can configure your accounts to work with iPhone without affecting the account settings on your computer.
Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account, then turn Account off.
If an account is off, iPhone doesn’t display the account and doesn’t send or check email from or sync other information with that account, until you turn it back on.
Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account, then do one of the following:
To set whether drafts, sent messages, and deleted messages are stored on iPhone or remotely on your email server (IMAP accounts only), tap Advanced and choose Drafts Mailbox, Sent Mailbox, or Deleted Mailbox.
If you store messages on iPhone, you can see them even when iPhone isn’t connected to the Internet.
To set how long before messages are removed permanently from Mail on iPhone, tap Advanced and tap Remove, then choose a time: Never, or after one day, one week, or one month.
To adjust email server settings, tap Host Name, User Name, or Password under Incoming Mail Server or Outgoing Mail Server. Ask your network administrator or Internet service provider for the correct settings.
To adjust SSL and password settings, tap Advanced. Ask your network administrator or Internet service provider for the correct settings.
Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” choose an account, then scroll down and tap Delete Account.
Deleting an account means you can no longer access the account with your iPhone. All email and the contacts, calendar, and bookmark information synced with the account are removed from iPhone. However, deleting an account doesn’t remove the account or its associated information from your computer.
