For most of us, email is an important way we communicate with others, both in our professional and personal lives. Fortunately, your iPhone has great email tools so that you can work with email no matter where you are. Of course, you need to be connected to the Internet through a Wi-Fi or cellular data connection to send or receive email—although you can read downloaded messages, reply to messages, and compose messages when you aren’t connected.

You can configure multiple email accounts on your iPhone so that you can access all of them there. Even better, you can sync an iPhone’s email accounts with your computers, iPads, and iPod touches so that you access the same email from multiple devices.
