How do I send and receive email on my smartphone?
Use the Email application on your smartphone to access the many email
accounts you have: company (like Exchange), ISP (like Earthlink or
Comcast) and web-based (like Gmail). You must create the account online
before you can set it up on your smartphone.
You can set up your email accounts in either of the following locations.
The procedure is the same in both locations.
• The Accounts app (see Use the Accounts application to set up an online
account)
• The Email app
The HP Synergy feature (see Your HP Pre
3
) provides another advantage:
During the same process you go through to set up an email account, you
also set up the same account for all other applications that can display
data from that account. For details on how Synergy works for the current
list of online accounts, see Online accounts available for webOS phones.
For example, suppose you want to set up your Gmail account on your
smartphone. The last step in setup is to select all the other apps that you
want to receive data from your Google account (besides Email, you can
include Contacts, Messaging and Calendar). After setup is complete,
your smartphone begins to download your email and all data for all other
apps you selected for synchronisation.
If you want, you can also use your smartphone's web browser to view
your web-based email—just go to the email provider's website.
Merged inboxes in Email
You can set up multiple email accounts on your smartphone. When you
open Email, you see all your accounts in a single view: Account List view.
From there, you can open the inbox of an individual account, or you can
open the All Inboxes smart folder and see all messages from all your
inboxes displayed in a merged view.
