On the other hand, if you set your Apple with a POP or POP3 account, the emails are downloaded to the device and can be deleted, read or changed without affecting the other devices that have the same email account.
Usually this configuration is used for shared accounts in which several people want to keep the emails that have been read by others as NOT read or for those who have the email in the mobile and on the computer and do not want the changes to be reflected in the other device.

Enter your email account and your password, in the "username" section or user name you must enter your full email account for example: mail@example.com.

Enter your outgoing server or SMTP server, again you must enter the email account and password of your email. Press "Next" and then "Save" to finish configuring your mail in iPhone 5c.
