You can't even put in a fucking server name without giving it an email address, a password, and letting it fly off to the internet and bang on things it thinks* might be your mail server. Once you've got that, you can put in an incoming server and username, and an outgoing server, and then you wait while it fails to connect, automatically because it hasn't got the right port. And then you have to go back in to set your outgoing server's authentication. It takes a 3-minute process (laboriously hunt-and-peck your name, email address, password, and mail server settings) into a 15-minute process as it repeatedly "helpfully" tries things that you know are going to fail, but can't interrupt and can't cancel. So you wait for several minutes before it realises you really do need to use an alternate port and enable SSL.* While this instance may be specific to the iPhone with screen reader and setting up wireless, this kind of make-it-easy-by-removing-options-and-attempt-to-probe-for-everything is especially frustrating when you know what the options are but the device or UI wants to do something itself in the name of helping you. I find these kinds of things especially frustrating because it's often difficult to verify the settings after it's been automatically set up. No, you need to leave the Mail app, then find Settings, scroll down (see 2), select mail and other things, select mail, select this account, select this account, find the password field (without it reading the field names, I remind you), and put in the password, then save the settings and restart the mail app. Finally, an example of "having all the settings in one place", but divorced from the place the setting is used is a bad idea. I never really understood the mindset that this is supposed to be easier. I know that the app needs the settings, I can find the app no problem, but its settings are some where else, with navigation totally separate from the app. I guess it makes accessing the settings consistent across apps, but this is a weird thing to optimize since you should rarely be messing with app specific settings, and when you do, you're already in the app.
