The Apple iPhone is capable of allowing access to an email account from most providers, including an email account through Microsoft Exchange or another email client. If your email client configuration settings are not already programmed into your iPhone, you can contact your email provider directly for inbound and outbound server information, which can then be programmed into your iPhone to have access to your work email account. This article will walk you through the steps to add a Microsoft Exchange email account or email client already set up on your iPhone.
