Chapter 14. Email

Email on your iPhone offers full formatting, fonts, graphics, and choice of type size; the use of attachments like photos, PDFs, .zip compressed files, and Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Pages, Numbers, and other documents; and compatibility with Yahoo Mail, Gmail, AOL Mail, iCloud mail, Microsoft Outlook, corporate Exchange mail, and any standard email account.

Dude, if you want a more satisfying portable email machine than this one, buy a laptop.

This chapter covers the basic email experience. If you’ve gotten yourself hooked up with iCloud, see Chapter 16 for details.

Setting Up Your Account

If you have a free email account from Google, AOL, Outlook, or Yahoo; an iCloud account (Chapter 16); or a Microsoft Exchange account run by your employer, then setup on the iPhone is easy.

From the Home screen, tap SettingsPasswords & AccountsAdd Account. Tap the appropriate corporate colorful logo (Google, Yahoo, or whatever).

On the page that appears, sign into your account. Tap Next.

Now you may see the list of non-email data the iPhone can show you (from iCloud, Google, Yahoo, Exchange, and so on): contacts, calendars, reminders, and notes. Turn off the ones you don’t want synced to your phone, and then tap Save.

Your email account is ready to go!

TIP

Jump to “The New Formatting Bar” for a look at some of the new settings you can adjust for the way Mail handles and displays your correspondence.
