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 210.
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.
You can also set up an a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account (Exchange 2003
and 2007), so you can read and work with the same email as you do on a computer
using Microsoft Outlook. Email supports username and password authentication for
Exchange ActiveSync accounts, and your IT administrator may set additional security
policies for the account (contact your IT administrator for more information).
