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 table to choose the correct email provider for your email address. You’ll need this information when adding an email account in Mail.
