# If this is the first e-mail account on your iPhone, tap *Mail*. Otherwise, tap *Settings* > *Mail, Contacts, Calendars* > *Add Account*
# 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.
