How to Add Work Email to iPhone

Use Microsoft Exchange

Open the Settings app on your iPhone. Click the Settings app icon in the gray frame.

Scroll down and tap Accounts & Passwords . The option is about a third of the way down the "Settings" page, next to the white key icon.

Click Add Account . The task is at the bottom of the "ACCOUNTS" section.

Tap Exchange near the top of the account options.

Exchange is one of the most popular email servers for business, so if you're unsure, chances are your company uses Exchange.

You can't just look at an email address to determine if it's an Exchange server; if you are unsure, ask your company's IT (Information Technology) staff.

Enter your email address. Tap the "Email" text box, enter the email address of the account you want to add to your iPhone.

You can also enter a description to use as a label for your account's inbox in Mail by tapping the "Description" text box and adding a description.

Take note of the "Exchange Device ID" sequence of characters displayed on the screen in case your company's email administrator asks.

Click Next in the upper right corner of the screen.

If asked, click Configure Manually before continuing.

Enter your password. Tap the "Password" text box, then enter the password associated with your email address.

Click Next in the upper right corner of the screen.

Follow the instructions on the screen. Depending on your Exchange account type, you may be asked to update your security settings, or give the Mail app permission to access the account.

If asked to grant permission to the Mail app , tap Allow when it appears.

Tap the white "Mail" switch at the top of the menu. The switch will turn green indicating that the Exchange email address has been added to the Mail app on iPhone.

Swipe other data types like Calendars and Contacts to the "On" (green) position to merge into iPhone.

Click Save in the upper right corner of the screen. You can now send email from your work account using the Mail app on your iPhone.

You can find this account's inbox on the "Mailboxes" screen.

Use the built-in email service

You need to know which services you can use. iPhone has preset options for iCloud, Google, Yahoo, AOL, and Microsoft Outlook. If you want to add an account from one of these services to the Mail app on your iPhone, go ahead.

If you want to add another email service, you need to see the next step.

Select an account type. Tap one of the account options (e.g. Google) on the "Add Account" page. The login page of the service you selected opens.

Enter your email address and password. Tap the "Email" text box and enter your email address, then tap the "Password" text box and enter your email account password.

The service you choose may ask you to enter your email address first, click Next, and then enter your password.

Follow the instructions on the screen. Depending on the email service you choose, the setup process will vary slightly. Once you reach the page containing the feature list along with the switches and the Save option in the upper right corner, you can continue.

Tap the white "Mail" switch. The button will turn green to indicate that you can now send and receive email on the account of your choice using your iPhone's Mail app.

Click Save in the upper right corner of the screen. After the changes are saved, you will return to the "Accounts & Passwords" page.

You can find this account's inbox on the "Mailboxes" screen.

Use an optional email service
