What are the most typical configuration options used when setting up email from an online service on a device?

Setting up email on a device should be simple if you use a standard email provider such as Google, Yahoo, Outlook, or iCloud. Often, your login and password are all that is required. If you're setting up a business account or manually configuring email, you'll need additional information such as the protocol (IMAP [Internet Message Access Protocol] or POP3 [Post Office Protocol version 3]) and server names for sending and receiving email. The port number and security settings may also be required.
