If it does not work

• Double-check the email address and password.
• Make sure two-factor authentication prompts are completed if your provider uses them.
• If you’re adding a work or custom account, you may need IMAP or POP server details from your email provider.

What to expect

After setup, your iPhone may ask what you want to sync, such as Mail, Contacts, Calendars, or Notes. You can turn off anything you do not want synced and still keep the email account active.
