Email

How do I send and receive email on my device?

Use the Email application on your device 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 device.

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 TouchPad) 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 devices.

For example, suppose you want to set up your Gmail account on your device. The last step in the 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, Calendar, and Documents). After setup is complete, your device begins to download your email and all data for all other apps you selected for synchronization.

If you want, you can also use your device’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 device. When you open Email, you see all your accounts in a single view on the Account List panel. 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.
