The Accounts screen is where you set up external email accounts from which email can be retrieved. You can specify up to three accounts.

Add an Account

1. Click Accounts in the Email sidebar. This opens the Accounts page.
2. Click New Account in the lower-right corner of the page. The New Account page opens:
   
3. From the Protocol drop-down menu, select the protocol used by your email server. Keep the selection on Auto-detect if you don't know which one to pick. If you select one of the email services listed, then the Mail Server and Port fields will auto-populate.
4. Type your email server name in the Mail Server field, if it did not auto-populate after you selected the Protocol. If you do not know the server name, you can obtain this information from the email service provider.
5. Fill in the email server Port; leave as 110 unless you know it is different.
6. Type your username in the field provided.
7. Type your email password.
8. Select the folder you want mail from this server to be delivered to; Inbox is selected by default. To create a new folder, type its name in the text field.
9. If you want the email to be removed from the mail server as it's collected and sent to your device, check the Remove mail from server as it is collected box. By default, email retrieved from a mail server will remain on the server.
10. If you want mail collected from this account, leave the Collect email from this account box checked. If you don't want mail collected, click the check box to clear it.
11. When the form is complete, click More Options.

13. Click Save when the page is complete. You're returned to the Accounts page, with the new account listed.
14. Before your account is completely set up, the email account will be verified. If there is a problem with the account information you provided, an error message will appear at the top of the Accounts page. Click Edit This Account to try to fix the error or to delete the account.
