Thank you for joining the class today as we explored the Apple Mail application on the IPad and IPhone.

Key Takeaways:

To add new accounts to the Mail app:

To add an account manually:

Go to Settings > Mail, then tap Accounts
Tap Add Account, tap Other, then tap Add Mail Account
Enter your name, email address, password, and a description for your account
Tap Next. Mail will try to find the email settings and finish your account setup. If Mail finds your email settings, tap “Done” to complete your account setup

Create an account on iCloud

Verify your email address
Create a strong password
Set your device region and set up two-factor authentication
You can do this by going to Settings > Email Accounts > Add More > iCloud on mobile Apple devices or Newton Mail on Android devices

To add a new contact:

Method One:

Open the Mail app and select the message from a contact you wish to add
Click "Message" from the Mail menu, and then click "Add Sender to Address Book."
The sender's name and email address copies to your Address Book automatically

Method Two:

Open your contact book; it looks like a brown book
Click the plus sign at the bottom of the Address Book window under the "Name" column when you want to create a new contact from scratch
A new blank contact appears
Type the name, email address and any other contact information you want in the text fields.
Click the red circle in the upper left corner of the Address Book window to close it

Delete multiple emails at once:

Open Mail and go to your Inbox
Tap Edit in the upper-right corner, then individually select the emails that you want to delete, or tap Select All
To select multiple emails quickly, swipe down through the checkboxes
Tap Trash or Archive. If you only see Archive, touch and hold Archive to see other options like Trash Selected Messages

Set Trash or Archive as your default option:

Depending on the type of email account you have, you might see Archive instead of Trash when you try to delete emails; you can edit where your deleted messages go in your Mail settings:
In the Settings app, tap Mai
Tap AccountsJohn
Tap your account
Tap your account once more
Tap Advanced
Select Deleted Mailbox or Archive Mailbox to send discarded messages there

Open the Mail App
Tap Mailboxes (In the Mail app a mailbox is a folder)
