How to add a webmail account to your iPhone
[ultimate_spacer height=”40″]

Here’s our latest how to guide, today we’re looking at how to add a webmail account to your iPhone. Webmail accounts include Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail (Outlook), and AOL. In our demo video we use a Google account, but the process is very similar for the others.

If you have a work email account or an email account with your own domain (yourdomainnamehere.com) then the process will be different. Please refer to Apple’s official guide here: ‘How to set up your email account manually’ or contact your email provider for assistance.
