These are instructions on how to setup your POP3 or IMAP email account on the iPhone. This is a relatively simple tutorial but I have received a lot of requests for it.

To perform this tutorial you must have your Email settings. You can obtain these from your Internet Service Provider. You will need to have your username and password as well as incoming and outgoing mailserver addresses.

Step One
Press to select Settings from your SpringBoard.
