You can always use Web-Based Email to send and receive email messages. But you also can view your email with an email client. To access your email through an iPhone®, add an account with the settings outlined below. This article's screenshots use iPhone firmware 3.1.2, but previous versions use the same settings.

NOTE: iPod Touch users may also use these settings, but must connect via Wi-Fi to send and receive email.
