Add an email account

  • From the home screen, touch Apps
  • Touch Settings
  • Touch Accounts; Sync; Add account; Email

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.

  • 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.

The details you enter are different, depending on the email service type. Contact your email service provider for the values required for your account or click here for some common ISP email settings.

  • Enter any other information requested by the type of account you're adding and touch Done
  • Enter a name for the account and touch Done

Email starts downloading your email messages and you can start using it to send and receive messages using the new account.
