If you're an iPhone user looking to optimize your digital communication, then you'll want to set up mail on your device to receive notifications from anywhere. Luckily, Apple’s Mail app lets you set up mail on iPhone in just a few steps. You can set up virtually any email account on your device and manage multiple accounts in one place.
By the end of this tutorial, you'll not only be able to add email to iPhone, but also see how to organize all of your messages through the Clean Email app. Let's dive in!
How to Make a New Email on iPhone
Whether you purchased a new device or have never tried setting up email on iPhone, you can easily set up your inbox by following these steps:
- Open the Mail app on your device.
- Once the app opens, select your provider from the list (i.e., Google, Yahoo, Outlook, iCloud).
- Follow the steps to log into your account.
- Once logged in, you will select which apps (including Mail) you want to link your account to. (You can change these settings later.)
- The Mail app will now display all your messages.
💡 Note: These instructions will add your mail account to Apple’s Mail app. However, there are many other email apps for iPhone that you can download and use.
How to Add Another Email to iPhone
If you want to add a student or work mail address to your iPhone, you can add any number of accounts through this method:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Within the settings list, locate and tap Mail.
- Choose Accounts.
- Tap Add Account.
- Select the appropriate mail provider from the list.

If you are looking for a way to achieve a similar goal within Google Workspace, you can add another email address to Gmail.
Add Email Account to iPhone Manually
The Apple Mail app is widely compatible with mail providers of all types. However, if you are using an account from a source other than iCloud, Google, Yahoo!, AOL, Outlook, or Microsoft Exchange, you will need to follow these additional steps when adding email to iPhone.
- Go to Settings → Mail → Accounts just like you would to set up mail on iPhone with any other client.
- Choose Add Account, but then select Other instead of the provided options.
- Enter the credentials it asks for (name, email, password, and description).
- Tap Next.
- Choose whether the account is IMAP or POP.
- Fill out the remaining information requested.
- Tap Next. Then, assuming you entered everything correctly, the account will be added to your Mail app.
Managing Multiple Email Accounts on iPhone
Once you have set up email on iPhone, you will see messages from all accounts logged in on your device as long as All Inboxes is selected. You can also toggle between each inbox by selecting from the Mailboxes list.
To manage your multiple accounts, simply:
- Open the Mail app from your phone. The app will default to the view you last accessed before closing it.
- Go back (swipe or use the back arrow at the top left of the screen) until you reach the Mailboxes list.
- From here, you can toggle between accounts, change what mailbox views are available, or view All Inboxes.
How to Remove Email From iPhone
You can remove mail accounts on iPhone at any time. Here’s how:
- Go to the Settings app.
- Tap Mail.
- Select Accounts.
- Tap on the mail account you wish to remove.
- Press Delete Account at the bottom of the screen.
- If you wish to delete more than one account, repeat these steps for all email accounts on iPhone you want removed.
Elevate Your iPhone Email Experience with Clean Email
Although Apple's Mail app makes setting up email on an iPhone easy, it can't help you reach your full potential in inbox management. Luckily, you can organize multiple inboxes to your heart’s content when you download the Clean Email app on your iOS device.
For starters, Clean Email makes it easy to search email on iPhone and view similar messages at once with the Smart Folders feature. These predefined filters will be applied to each inbox you have, and the app will automatically sort messages into buckets that are labeled “Social Notifications” or “Productivity tools.” From here, you can take action on multiple emails at once, saving you time.
What’s more, you can let the app guide you through inbox organization with Cleaning Suggestions. This feature will provide recommended actions for quick execution, so you can archive email on iPhone or delete junk messages you don’t really need. Accepting Cleaning Suggestions allows the app to handle these chores automatically, enhancing your inbox efficiency.
If you'd like to go a step further, Auto Clean allows you to set inbox automation rules. This way, Clean Email will automatically perform specified actions on messages that meet your criteria. This feature can be great for those who like to organize messages into folders, star messages to read later, flag mail as spam, and more.
Another powerful tool at your disposal is the Unsubscriber feature. Instead of manually hunting down the "unsubscribe" links in promotional emails or newsletters, this tool identifies and lists them all in one place. With just a click, you can opt out from receiving unwanted newsletters.
In total, Clean Email offers over a dozen unique features for easy inbox management. You can use the app on your iPhone or any other device in the Apple ecosystem, as well as on the web.
Also, because Clean Email takes privacy and security so seriously, you don’t have to worry about your personal information being leaked. None of your information will ever be shared, sold, or otherwise provided to any third parties, and everything Clean Email accesses in order to organize your inbox remains encrypted and secure.
Wrap-Up
As you can see, setting up email on iPhone is easy as long as you have the correct steps and know your login credentials. Once you set up mail on your device, you can check messages and reply from anywhere in the world.
The more mailboxes you add to your iPhone, the more work you create for yourself regarding inbox management. Luckily, the Clean Email app works right alongside the Apple Mail app, meaning you can not only send but organize every single inbox you own directly from your iPhone.
