Occasionally, the above method doesn't work with some iPhone/iPod Touch devices or causes problems when you're trying to send emails. However, SUmail can still be configured using these steps:

# This time, tap *Other* > *Add Mail Account*
# Tap in the *E-mail* box and enter your full e-mail address (for example, [Netid@syr.edu|mailto:Netid@syr.edu]).
# Tap in the *Username* box and enter your *full e-mail address* again.
# Tap in the *Password* box and enter your password.
# *Optional* Add a Display name and a description for this mailbox. This doesn't affect the settings of the SUmail mailbox in any way.
# In the next screen, make sure *IMAP* is selected (default selection).
# Enter the settings described below and tap *Save* when you're done.
# See *Advanced Settings* for more options.
