Step 2: Open the “Settings” App

Now, unlock your iPhone and look for the app called Settings. It looks like a gray box with gears inside it.

• Tap on it once.
  This will open the main settings screen.

After you open Settings, you will see many options.

• Scroll down until you find something that says Mail.
• It has a small picture of an envelope next to it.
• Tap Mail to open your email settings.
  

Step 4: Tap “Accounts”

Inside the Mail settings, you will see different things you can choose.

• Look for the word Accounts.
  Tap on it.

 Step 6: Tap on the Email Address Again

After you tap the email account, you may see your email address listed again.

• Make sure there are no mistakes.

• Your iPhone will check if the password is correct.
