Mail services

How to create an email on an iOS phone?
The next step in setting up mail is connecting it to your phone. If you are the owner of an iOS smartphone (gadgets from Apple), then you must have been registered already at the time of the first inclusion. If so, then you already have an iCloud mailbox set up and ready to go. You can safely both send an email from your phone and receive a letter.
