First of all you need to open the 'Settings' app from your 'Homescreen':

Then tap on 'Mail, Contacts, Calendars' to open the settings of the 'Mail' app:

On the next scree tap on 'Add account':
The 'accounts' screen.
Then you will be asked to choose the provider of your account. Select 'Other' there:

As the next step you will be offered several options to choose from, namely whether you want to create a new calendar item or if you wish to import your contacts.
You need to choose for 'Add Mail Account':
Adding new account.
As soon as you have chosen this option, you will be asked to enter your personal account information. Enter your name, the 'reply to' address and the description of the account (if necessary).
Entering personal account information.
On the next screen you will be prompted to choose the account type (IMAP/POP). Choose POP there and then enter your account information provided to you (see 'Mailbox information' on your configuration papers)
Please use the image below for the correct settings for 'Incoming Mail Server' and for 'Outgoing Mail Server'. For the incoming server:
Changing settings of the incoming mailserver of your iPhone mailaccount. For the 'Hostname' use mail.edpnet.be, for the 'Username' and the 'Password' fill in the mailbox username and password provided on your configuration paper.
For the outgoing server:
For the 'Hostname' use relay.edpnet.be, the 'Username' and 'Password' may be left blank in this case.
