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 these 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 Veer 4G) 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 HP webOS smartphones.

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 synchronization.

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.

1Number to the right of All Inboxes indicates the total number of unread email messages in all your email accounts.

2Number to the right of an individual folder name indicates the number of unread messages in that folder.

If you reply to a message when you’re working in All inboxes, the message is sent from the same account in which it was received. To reply from a different account, tap the From field and tap a different account to send the email from.

If you create a new message when you’re working in All Inboxes, the message goes out using the account you set as the default account (see Set email preferences).
