Adding and editing email accounts
The first time you open Email, you are prompted to set up an email
account. After that, you can configure Email to send and receive
email from additional accounts. The accounts that you configure are
displayed in the Accounts screen. See “Opening Email and the
Accounts screen” on page 180.
The Email setup wizard helps you set up your account for many
popular email systems, including those based on IMAP and POP3, so
you can read and work with the same email as you do on a computer
in Thunderbird, Mac Mail, in a web browser, or with another email
application. If your service provider requires additional settings, or if
your service provider is unknown to Email, you can enter the
necessary details manually, though you will typically need to contact
your email service provider to determine the right settings for your
account.
To add an email account
1 Open the Accounts screen.
See “Opening Email and the Accounts screen” on page 180.
2 Press Menu and touch Add account.
3 In the Setup Email screen, enter your email address and password.
If you’re adding a second or subsequent email address, you can
also check the option to use the new account to send all outgoing
messages.
4 Touch Next. Or, if you need to enter email account settings the
wizard can’t configure for you, touch Manual setup.
If you touch Next, Email attempts to communicate with your email
service provider to validate your account for sending and
receiving mail, using just your email address and password. This is
sufficient for most email services.
Depending on the service provider, you may be asked what kind
of email account you have. If you’re not sure, check the settings in
the application you use to send and receive email on your
computer, or ask your email service provider.
If the wizard determines that your service provider requires
additional information, or if you touched Manual setup, you’re
prompted to enter your email account details.
