All the email accounts configured on our iPhone 4s will appear, both active and inactive, if it is the first email account that you configure on your Apple iPhone 4s you will see this empty list. Click on “Add account”.

4- Fourth step:

There are several types of popular accounts that are easy to set up in the iPhone 4s like iCloud, Exchange, Google, Yahoo, Aol and Outlook.com. If your email account belongs to one of these mail providers, click on its icon, the system will connect to the selected service and ask for your email account or username and password, in a few steps you will have your email account configured in your Apple iPhone 4s. If your email account does not belong to any of the services that appear click on “Other”.

6- Sixth step:

In incoming server you must enter the incoming server, usually mail.yourserver.com or imap.yourserver.com (changing yourserver.com for your domain) in any case consult with your mail provider the configuration.

7- Seventh step:

Select the type of account you want to configure in your Apple iPhone 4s, IMAP or POP.
What differentiates an IMAP account from a POP or POP3?
When you set up an IMAP account in your iPhone 4s you keep a copy of the emails in the cloud, that is, in the mail server.
If you delete an email or move it from a folder in your Apple iPhone 4s that change will also occur on the server and therefore on all devices that are configured with the same email account.

On the other hand, if you set your Apple with a POP or POP3 account, the emails are downloaded to the device and can be deleted, read or changed without affecting the other devices that have the same email account.
Usually this configuration is used for shared accounts in which several people want to keep the emails that have been read by others as NOT read or for those who have the email in the mobile and on the computer and do not want the changes to be reflected in the other device.

Enter your email account and your password, in the “username” section or user name you must enter your full email account for example: [email protected].

10- Final step:

Enter your outgoing server or SMTP server, again you must enter the email account and password of your email. Press “Next” and then “Save” to finish configuring your mail in iPhone 4s.
