Additional steps:

• If you're adding an email account from a third-party provider (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook), you may need to enter additional settings, such as the incoming and outgoing server addresses, port numbers, and authentication settings. You can find these settings on the provider's website or in their documentation.
• If you're adding an email account from a custom email server, you may need to enter the server addresses, port numbers, and authentication settings manually.
• Make sure to enter the correct email address and password for the new account, as incorrect information may prevent the account from being added successfully.
