Logging in to an e-mail account.

account. To do so, select the new account menu item. Enter your email address,
SMTP server address, IMAP server address, and your password. You can find
information about the SMTP and IMAP server addresses on the website of your e-
mail provider. After selecting the
save menu item, an attempt will be made to log
into your email. If successful, menu item new email will be shown. Logging into
your email account might take some time, depending on your Internet connection.
You can change your e-mail account information or delete the account from the
device via the
edit account menu item.
Important notice: In some cases you need to explicitly allow third party
applications to remotely access your e-mail, or you have to enable the IMAP access
for your e-mail account.
Writing a new e-mail
To write a new e-mail select the new email menu item. In the recipients menu
item you can either enter an e-mail address from your contact list (selected contact

can also add multiple recipients. Fill in the
subject and text of the e-mail, and send
it afterwards by selecting the send menu item. The menu with the written e-mail
will stay opened until the e-mail is successfully sent. Once the e-mail is sent, you
will be moved back to the main menu of the e-mail account. If the sending of the e-
mail fails, you can try to send the e-mail again, or leave the writing of the e-mail,
saving the e-mail to drafts.
