Tap Mail to send and check email.
Mail is a rich HTML email client that retrieves your email in the background while you
do other things on iPhone. iPhone works with the most popular email systems—
including Yahoo! Mail, Google email, AOL, and .Mac Mail—as well as other industry-
standard POP3 and IMAP email systems. Mail lets you send and receive photos and
graphics, which are displayed in your message along with the text. You can also get
PDFs and other attachments and view them on iPhone.
Setting Up Email Accounts
You must have an email address—which looks like “yourname@example.com”—to use
iPhone for email. If you have Internet access, you most likely got an email address from
your Internet service provider.
If you chose automatic syncing during setup, your existing email accounts should be
already set up and ready to go. Otherwise, you can set iTunes to sync your email
accounts, or configure email accounts directly on iPhone.
Syncing Email Accounts to iPhone
You use iTunes to sync your email accounts to iPhone. iTunes supports Mail and
Microsoft Entourage on a Mac, and Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 and Outlook
Express on a PC. See “Setting Up Syncing” on page 8.
Note: Syncing an email account to iPhone copies the email account setup, not the
messages themselves. Whether the messages in your inbox appear on both iPhone and
your computer depends on the type of email account you have and how it’s
configured.
