The Mail app on any iOS device is one of the most convenient and easy to use apps on most phones. Even though the process of adding email accounts to device has changed from previous versions, iOS 11 still allows for this with relative ease.

In iOS 11, the “Accounts” option is no longer in the “Mail” settings, nor in “Calendar” nor “Contacts.” Instead, everything is found within a settings menu called “Accounts & Passwords.” Adding email accounts in iOS 11 is still very straightforward, and follows the same process of signing in and syncing your email addresses, like in iOS 10.
