# How do I set up email on my phone?

Your email comes from an email provider like Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo — Eyesurf doesn't provide email addresses, so there are no Eyesurf mail settings to enter. That actually makes setup easier: modern providers configure your phone's mail app automatically. If you don't have an email address yet, see https://help.eyesurf.net/en/article/can-i-get-an-email-address-from-eyesurf-1qvwtu1/ first.

## iPhone / iPad

1. Open **Settings** → **Apps** → **Mail** → **Mail Accounts** (on older iOS: Settings → Mail → Accounts).

2. Tap **Add Account** and choose your provider — **Google** for Gmail, **Outlook.com**, or **Yahoo**.

3. Sign in with your email address and password. The app sets everything up for you.

## Android

1. Open the **Gmail** app → tap your profile picture → **Add another account**.

2. Choose your provider — **Google**, **Outlook, Hotmail, and Live**, or **Yahoo**.

3. Sign in with your email address and password.

## If the app asks for "server settings"

That only happens when you pick the **Other** account type. Go back and choose your provider by name instead — the app then fills in all servers and ports itself. If you ever do need manual settings, they're on your provider's help pages:

- Gmail: https://support.google.com/mail

- Outlook / Hotmail: https://support.microsoft.com

- Yahoo: https://help.yahoo.com

## Don't have an email address yet?

Free accounts from Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo take about five minutes to create — see https://help.eyesurf.net/en/article/can-i-get-an-email-address-from-eyesurf-1qvwtu1/, and we're happy to walk through it with you.
