CHAPTER 9: Email on Your DROID
205
Figure 9–2. Adding email accounts to a single Gmail.
If you add accounts, you’ll want to decide if you should respond from the address that
received the email or always use your default email address. We find it less confusing to
respond with the same account that originated the email. Your default address is the
address you’ll use to compose new messages.
You can also add more accounts from your DROID without joining them in your Gmail
account. It’s just a matter of deciding how you’d rather manage your email accounts.
Forwarding and POP/IMAP
You can automatically forward a copy of each mail message to a different account and
either keep, archive, or delete the original message. This applies to
all messages to that
account, but you can forward selectively by creating a filter.
For accessing email on your Android phone, you’ll want to enable
IMAP
(Internet
Message Access Protocol). This is the mail protocol that allows your account to sync
with your phone. You can also enable
POP
(Post Office Protocol) if you wish, but this
isn’t necessary for Android access.
