Thanks for reaching out JimmyD2023,
It sounds like you're getting prompted for the login credentials of your email account. We can help.
If you are being asked for the IMAP details, keep in mind that you may need to know the ports your mail provider uses, as well as both your email account username and the related password.
You can follow the following steps to Add an email account to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or review the relevant parts to provide just the missing data that is being requested:
How to set up your email account automatically
If you use an email provider like iCloud, Google, or Yahoo, Mail can automatically set up your email account with just your email address and password. Here's how:
1. Go to Settings > Mail, then tap Accounts.
2. Tap Add Account, then select your email provider.
3. Enter your email address and password.
4. If you see Next, tap Next and wait for Mail to verify your account.
5. If you see Save, tap Save.
If you don't see your email provider, tap Other to add your account manually.
Hope that helps.
Take care.
