The iPhone 4 makes setting up your multiple email accounts fairly straight forward. In this video you can see how you may select from several public email services or other accounts such as IMAP or POP3. The handy unified inbox feature is also shown. For more detailed information on setting up your accounts, please refer to the steps below.

Step 1: Setting Up Accounts

The iPhone 4 can handle a wide variety of email accounts, ranging from public services such as MobileMe, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, and AOL, as well as IMAP and POP-3 accounts.http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/mail.html

To add an email account tap the "settings" key. This will direct you to to a scrollable menu of setting options. Scroll down and select the "mail contacts and calendars" option, followed by the "add account" option . This will open a screen from which you will be able to select from a list of public email services. If you wish to configure access to an IMAP or POP-3 account, select the "other" option. For each account that you wish to add to your iPhone, you will be prompted for the username and password associated with each account.

In the case of IMAP and POP-3 accounts, you must also enter the incoming mail server and outgoing mail server.

Step 2: Inbox Functions

Once you have entered all of the email accounts that you wish to have access to via your iPhone 4, you may now proceed to use the different inbox features that are available with the iOS 4.0.

By tapping on the "mail" icon, you will be directed to a screen containing the inboxes for all of your email accounts. You may access each inbox individually by tapping on the corresponding email account, or you may select the "all inboxes" item on the menu. This will open a unified inbox, displaying all current emails from all of the email accounts configured on your device.http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/mail.html

To simplify the task of searching for specific emails on your device, tap the status bar of the iPhone, then tap the "search" field, and enter the search term which you wish to reference, be it by subject, sender, or recipient. The device will also give you an option search from the mail server of each of your accounts in case the email is not stored locally on your phone. This option is activated by tapping the "continue search on sever" option at the bottom of the screen.
