How to add Yandex mail to iPhone

Yandex mail on Apple iPhone phones can be configured in several ways. Each method involves the use of a new protocol. These methods will be discussed in detail below.

IMAP mail settings

This method involves using the standard Yandex.Mail application and is implemented according to the following instructions:

Go to the App Store and enter the name of this program in the search bar.
Download the application and install it on your mobile phone. Installation of software downloaded from the App Store is usually done automatically, with the exception of a few cases.
Launch the software by clicking on the icon that appears on the phone’s desktop.
Enter your account login information. If the user does not have an account in Yandex mail, he will have to register. This can be done directly from the downloaded application.
Agree to the notification to send alerts by clicking the Allow button. This way the application will notify the user about incoming messages. This will allow you to quickly respond to important messages.

You can also access Yanjax mail on iPhones through the browser installed on your phone.

POP3 mail settings

This method of setting up mail involves using a standard Apple application. To quickly cope with the task, you need to do a number of manipulations:

Go to the “Settings” of your smartphone by clicking on the gear icon on the desktop.
Scroll to the end of the list of options, find the “Passwords and Accounts” item and tap on it.
In the next window, click on the “New Account” line.
After the above steps, the “Accounts” menu will appear. Here you will need to specify the type of mail for which you want to configure. In this case, you need to select the “Other” option.

In the window that opens, click on the “New account” line again to set up mail from Yandex using the POP3 protocol.

Now you need to fill out all the fields for your account. Here the user needs to enter the relevant information in the lines “Name”, “E-mail”, “Password”, “Description”.
The POP3 protocol menu will open after filling in these fields. Here you need to activate the “Mail” option by moving the slider opposite to the “Enabled” position.
Click on the “Save” button in the upper right corner of the screen and check the result. Yandex Mail must work in the appropriate application.

When adding mail, you can specify any account name depending on the user's preferences. You should also choose a strong password consisting of at least eight characters to prevent unauthorized access.

Why might I not be able to change my Apple ID email account?

In some cases, problems may arise when changing mail, here are the main reasons why this happens:

On all devices where the account is activated, you need to log out of it.
You can't change your mailbox to one that's already used as your Apple ID.
If your ID looks like - @icloud.com, @me.com, @mac.com then you cannot change it!
Problems with Apple's servers also cannot be ruled out. Various Apple services may not work for some time -

Finally, I would like to remind you that in order to avoid various problems, it is very important to constantly have access to the mail to which your Apple ID is linked.

Moreover, it is highly desirable that you and only you know it. Otherwise, an outsider can easily read the correspondence, look at the photo, and indeed absolutely all your data. Well, or “simply” block the device.

Therefore, be careful and careful. As I already advised, the best option would be to create a separate email account for your Apple ID and not use it anywhere else. After all, safety comes first!

How to add Mail.ru mail to iPhone or iPad

The process of setting up this type of mail can be implemented in the same ways as adding Yandex mail. However, there will be minor differences, which will be discussed below.

IMAP mail settings

This method is considered the simplest and is implemented as follows:

Go to your phone’s “Settings” and follow the procedure described above to go to the “Mail, addresses, calendars” section.

Next, click on “Add account”.

In the already familiar window, click on the line “Other”.
In the next menu, click on the “New Account” option.

Fill in the fields “Name”, “E-mail”, “Password”, “Description”.
Check the result. Now you can go to the “Mail” application downloaded from the App Store and check your mail for functionality.

Details here:

POP3 mail settings

This method is a little more complicated than the one discussed above, and should be used if the previous setup method did not work. Its implementation consists in following the following algorithm:

Similarly, create a new mail account in the iPhone's Settings.
Click on the name of the created entry to go to its settings.
Scroll to the bottom of the list of options and click on the “SMTP” section.

Enable this function, and also move the slider next to the line “Use SSL” to the “Enabled” position.

Save the settings by clicking on the button at the top of the window and switch to the “Advanced” section.

In the “Server Port” line, you must enter the value 993, and also activate the “Use SSL” mode, similar to the previous paragraph.

Check your email for functionality.

Before performing the above methods on your iPhone, you will need to install the Mail application if it is not pre-installed on your device.

When is it necessary to change your Apple ID email and what is needed for this?

First, let’s talk about what might motivate you to undergo this procedure:

As I already wrote just above, in some cases the email is indicated anyhow - after all, the main thing is to register and start using the device as quickly as possible, and then access to it is lost.
If you don’t use your mail for a long time, it simply becomes inactive, and another person may register it in the future. And your Apple ID is still on it!
Stores often offer iPhone activation and setup services. At the same time, they register an Apple ID to their email address, and, of course, no one gives a password to it.
And in general, I personally recommend creating a separate mailbox for your Apple ID account and not posting it anywhere.

To change your Apple ID email address you need to:

Know your Apple ID password ().
Know the answers to security questions (ideally, if you don’t know, you’ll have to call technical support at 8-800-555-67-34).
Access to old mail is not needed.

That's it, it's time to get started!

How to find out your mail settings through the Apple website

iPhone users can find out the settings of a particular mail account on the official Apple website. To complete the task they will need:

Go to the Apple website through any browser installed on your computer.
Find the “Search for Mail settings” section.
In the line at the top of the menu, manually enter the name of your mail account using the keyboard and press “Enter” to confirm the action.

After a few seconds of waiting, the service will display the data of the specified email. This will provide information about the account's protocol type, server port name, server host name, etc. The information will be displayed in the form of tables named “Incoming Mail Server” and “Outgoing Mail Server”.

For security reasons, the official Apple service does not provide information about the password that is used to enter this mailbox. Otherwise, anyone could obtain the personal data of a user by logging into his account.

How to access mail on iPhone

Based on the information presented above, there are several ways to log into a particular mail:

Using specialized applications for a specific type of mail. Each mail has its own application, which can be downloaded from the App Store for free. Some software is installed by default on the iOS operating system.
Using a browser. Through the browser installed on your iPhone, you can log into any email account by entering your login password. However, the user will not be able to receive notifications about incoming messages.
Using the standard Mail application installed on the iPhone.
