Your mobile phone puts email at your fingertips, too. Using your Email application, you
can configure it for most popular email services. These types of email accounts are
known as POP3 or IMAP.
Adding an Email Account
When using the Email application for the first time, you must configure your email
account. The Email setup wizard helps you set up your account for many popular email
systems, so you can read and work with the same email that you do on a
computer in a web browser, or with another email application.
1.
Touch Email from the Launcher.
2.
To customize your email settings, answer the onscreen prompts, and then touch
Next. Or touch Manual setup if you want to set the mail server yourself. Note: If you
touch Manual setup, contact your email service provider for the parameters required
for your account if you don't know what they are.
3.
Enter the name for your account and the name you want other people to see
when they receive an email from you.
4.
Touch Done. Your mobile phone starts your email messages from your email
account on the web and you can start using the phone to send and receive messages.
After the initial setup, your email application opens to display the contents of your
Inbox.
