If what you've set up is your Google® Account, your phone will sync and download your Gmail™ as well as your Google contacts and calendar from your account.

If you've set up other POP3 or IMAP accounts, your phone will sync email from those accounts.

If your phone can't find your account settings, go to the advanced setup to enter the incoming and outgoing server and other settings manually. You'll need to get these information from your email provider.

Adding a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account

1.On the Start screen, slide to the left.

2.Tap Settings > email+accounts.

3.Tap add an account.

4.Tap Outlook.

5.Enter your email address and password, and then tap sign in.

If your account settings are found, wait for your phone to finish syncing with your work email, contacts, and calendar.

If your account settings can't be found, follow the onscreen instructions to enter your Exchange ActiveSync account settings manually. Ask your Exchange Server administrator for these settings.

Checking email

After you've set up your email accounts, a new tile for each account will be added to the Start screen.

1.To open an email account, tap its tile on the Start screen.

If you don’t see the tile, slide left from the Start screen, and then tap your email account in the apps list.

2.In the all email list, scroll up or down to skim through your email messages.

Email messages are neatly grouped into conversations. If there were back and forth replies to an email, tapping that email expands and shows its series of messages.

3.Tap an email message to open and read it.

If you have a long email list, you can also slide left or right to skim through unread, flagged, or urgent email only.

8X specifications

The HTC 8X, released in late 2012, represents a significant entry for HTC into the Windows Phone ecosystem, showcasing the company's commitment to design and performance. As a flagship device for Windows Phone 8, the HTC 8X is armed with a host of attractive features and technologies that set it apart in a competitive market.

At the heart of the HTC 8X is its 4.3-inch Super LCD 2 display, sporting a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. This screen not only delivers vibrant colors and sharp images but also wide viewing angles. Moreover, the display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, ensuring durability against scratches and minor impacts. The phone's design is a standout feature, with its unibody construction giving it a premium feel. The sleek lines and vibrant color options – including California Blue, Graphite Black, and Flame Red – cater to a variety of user preferences.

Under the hood, the HTC 8X is powered by a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5 GHz, paired with 1 GB of RAM. This configuration allows for smooth multitasking and efficient performance across applications, minimizing lag even during intensive tasks. The device runs on Windows Phone 8, which integrates seamlessly with Microsoft's ecosystem, offering access to services such as Office, Xbox Live, and SkyDrive.

Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the HTC 8X's 8-megapixel rear camera, which features an f/2.0 aperture for improved low-light performance and an array of options like HDR mode, panorama, and manual controls. Additionally, the phone boasts a front-facing 2.1-megapixel camera, making it ideal for video calls and selfies.

The device includes 16 GB of internal storage, which unfortunately lacks the option for expandable memory. However, the built-in storage is sufficient for most users. Connectivity options include the latest Bluetooth technology, Wi-Fi, and NFC support, enhancing the device's versatility in wireless interactions.

Battery life on the HTC 8X is commendable, with its 1800mAh battery providing sufficient power for a full day's use under moderate conditions. The combination of features and design makes the HTC 8X a compelling choice for users looking for a stylish and functional smartphone, especially for those invested in the Windows Phone ecosystem. With its standout design and robust features, the HTC 8X remains a notable device in the history of HTC's mobile offerings.
