Can I add an email address to my iPhone?

Setting up email on iphone?

  • I'm trying to set up my school email on my iphone, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong..but here's what I am doing.. When I go to mail under settings, I click add account under the "other" option. (the name of the email my university uses is goldmail.etsu.edu)..then i type in my name, email address, and password and click next..here's where i think i'm going wrong.. it asks for the host names of the incoming and outgoing mail server..i've been typing either goldmail.etsu.edu or gmail.com (because it's powered by google). can someone tell me what the host names for the incoming and outgoing mail servers are supposed to be??

  • Answer:

    Ask your school's IT department. They will know how to configure an iPhone for your school's e-mail system. Heck, they probably have instructions on their website.

I go to ETSU and just set up my iphone. do the imap account info as instructed. When you get to the incoming mail server put "imap.gmail.com" as the host name. For the user name put your actual email address, and use your password for you email in the password field. For the outgoing mail server, the host name is "smtp.gmail.com" and the user name and password is the same as the fields you entered for the incoming server.

Apple has a specific list of email servers that they support. If you don't use @yahoo, @gmail, or common email it most likely won't accept.
