Choose the correct email service provider when you add an account to Mail
When setting up an email account on your Apple device, you're asked to choose from a list of email service providers, but your email address might not include the provider’s name. Find out which of these providers is the correct choice for your email address.
Some email service providers don’t use their name in the email addresses they offer, or they delegate email authentication to another service provider. Use the information in this article to choose the correct email provider for your email address. You’ll need this information when you add an email account on your device and you’re asked to choose from a list of email service providers, as pictured above.

Any other email address | If the email address is for a Microsoft Exchange-based email account, choose Microsoft Exchange. For all other email addresses, choose Other (or Other Mail Account) and follow the onscreen steps to manually set up your account. You might need to enter mail server addresses and other information, which you can get from your email service provider. Our Mail Settings Lookup tool might also provide that information. |
