For example, suppose you have a Google account for personal email, contacts and calendar events, and an Exchange account for your corporate email, contacts and events. The Email, Contacts and Calendar applications on your HP Pre3 all provide a view in which you can see information from both of those accounts in one place—but even though the information is brought into one view, the sources of that information are kept separate. For more information, read about linked contacts, layered calendars and the single inbox for your email in Contacts, Calendar and Email.

NOTE See Online accounts available for webOS phones for the current list of online accounts that you can set up on your smartphone and for information about the behaviour of these accounts.

Thanks also to the Synergy feature, in the Messaging application, all your conversations with the same person are grouped together in one chat-style view. If you start an IM chat with Ed, for example, you can continue the same conversation when Ed signs out of IM by sending him a text message – and you can see it all in the same view. For more information, see Messaging: All messages in one application.

Sync: Your HP Pre3 gives you synchronisation without a cable. You can sync with online services so that you can store and sync your info in online accounts. For more information, see Get data from an online account in the cloud.

Your HP webOS Account: When you set up your smartphone, you create an HP webOS Account by entering a valid email address, creating a password and answering a security question. Your account gives you an account in which to create and store contacts and calendar events. It also gives you access to services like automatic updates and automatic, frequent backups of any of your info that is stored only on your smartphone and isn’t synchronised with an online account (see What information is backed up?).

WARNING Please refer to for information that helps you safely use your smartphone. Failure to read and follow the important safety information in this guide may result in property damage, serious bodily injury or death.
