I have just got a new Iphone 6s and not receiving emails. Everywhere I look tells me to go into settings then mail, contact, calendar then default account.
I am getting three different headings for mail, contact & calendar and when I go into either of the three there is nothing showing default account.

Sounds like you may not have set up an email account. Not to worry as the link @mattguy10 posted will help.

Hello and welcome to iMore Flora! It's good to have you here! I agree that the link @mattguy10 will help you out. I also wanted to make you aware that if you happen to live near an Apple Store, they offer a series of classes about all sorts of things, including the iPhone. I have taken many of these and always come away from them having learned a great deal. You can find them by clicking on this link: [URL="https://forums.imore.com/e?link=https%3A%2F%2Fapple.sjv.io%2Fc%2F221109%2F473657%2F7613%3FsubId1%3DUUimUvbUpU3126245%26subId2%3Dvbim%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.apple.com%252Ftoday%252F&token=QxbEdA5v]Today At Apple Workshops[/URL]

After you set up your email account/accounts, then you choose which one for your default. Settings>Mail>Default account.
