Hi JamieClews,


We see you're trying to setup mail on your iPhone. To clarify, are you using an iCloud email address? If so you can turn it on by going to your iCloud settings directly. If you're running a recent version of iOS you can go to settings > [your name] > iCloud, and turn mail on there.


If you're not using an iCloud email address the Add an email account to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch resource you're posting from has the best information regarding this.


If the issue persists you can reach out for additional support here: Get Support


Take care.
