    This app icon looks like some gears on a light grey background.

    It's in the fifth grouping of menu options next to an icon of an envelope.

    It should be below the "Cellular Data" toggle near the middle of your screen.

    You'll then see a list of a few different service providers like "Gmail" and "Yahoo!"
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/1\/1f\/Add-a-Cox-Email-Account-to-iPhone-Step-5.jpg\/v4-460px-Add-a-Cox-Email-Account-to-iPhone-Step-5.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/1\/1f\/Add-a-Cox-Email-Account-to-iPhone-Step-5.jpg\/v4-728px-Add-a-Cox-Email-Account-to-iPhone-Step-5.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Since "Cox" is not on the menu, you'll want to set up a mailbox manually.

    This will bring you to another screen so you can set up a new mail account.
  7. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/e6\/Add-a-Cox-Email-Account-to-iPhone-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-Add-a-Cox-Email-Account-to-iPhone-Step-7.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/e6\/Add-a-Cox-Email-Account-to-iPhone-Step-7.jpg\/v4-728px-Add-a-Cox-Email-Account-to-iPhone-Step-7.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Fill out the fields for your name, your Cox email address, the password for that email, and a brief description of that email address.
