Emails<br />

Desktop-class email is within reach when you are mobile.<br />

Email is still a force in the world of mobile<br />

communications in spite of the growth<br />

of instant messaging and networks<br />

that can keep you in touch with people<br />

throughout the day. For work and many<br />

other tasks, email is still ideal and the<br />

only drawback to using it on a mobile<br />

device is the sometimes slower data<br />

entry and smaller screens on phones.<br />

The advantages, however, outweigh the<br />

downsides easily because you can receive<br />

your emails no matter where you are and<br />

the simple alerts will ensure that you never<br />

miss something important. Multiple email<br />

accounts are easily accessible and can be<br />

merged into one unified inbox, your most<br />

important contacts can be given priority on<br />

your device so that they become your main<br />

focus and you can also send much more<br />

than simple text with a variety of media<br />

attachment options open to you to share<br />

with anyone instantly. Setting up your own<br />

personalised signatures, the ability to send<br />

to a group of people, control who can view<br />

your recipient list, and even creating labels<br />

to ensure that all of your emails are kept<br />

organised complete the <strong>Galaxy</strong> email setup<br />

and it really is very impressive.<br />

Whatever you do on your <strong>Galaxy</strong> will<br />

be mirrored in your email accounts and<br />

thus on your desktop computer and any<br />

other device you use for handling emails,<br />

and your <strong>Samsung</strong> <strong>Galaxy</strong> device could easily<br />

become your default tool for emailing every<br />

single day.<br />

We will show you how to set up your<br />

accounts and also how to manage them<br />

in the most efficient way possible, with an<br />

emphasis on helping you to make the most<br />

of the features on offer. Email may not be<br />

the reason you bought your smartphone,<br />

but if you communicate often it could<br />

become one of the most used features over<br />

time and with Google being the master of<br />

online mass email, the compatibility with<br />

Android is very strong indeed. The way<br />

the email software works in conjunction<br />

with much of the rest of the system is<br />

seamless and virtually everything you need<br />

will be there for you the moment you<br />

turn the device on. Third party apps can<br />

help, but there really is little need to use<br />

them thanks to the powerful setup that<br />

is included in <strong>Galaxy</strong> devices by default.<br />

Let’s start understanding the power of<br />

Android email.<br />

Use multiple email accounts Bring all of your email accounts together<br />

Multiple Gmail accounts<br />

In the Gmail app, tap the menu key<br />

and choose Settings. At the top righthand<br />

corner you will see Add Account.<br />

Tap this and follow the instructions to<br />

add a Gmail inbox. Repeat for each of<br />

your accounts.<br />

Other email accounts<br />

For non-Gmail accounts, go to<br />

Settings>Accounts and then tap ‘Add<br />

Account’. Choose ‘Email’ from the next<br />

list and then enter the required details.<br />

You may need server information and<br />

other details to set it up.<br />

Bring them together<br />

You will now be able to use each<br />

account in the same app and jump<br />

between them with a single tap.<br />

This keeps them together, but still<br />

separated enough to aid organisation<br />

and avoid any confusion.<br />

clean up<br />

my email<br />

interface<br />

If you feel that<br />

the Gmail and<br />

Email app<br />

interfaces that<br />

come with<br />

your Android<br />

device are too<br />

cluttered, take<br />
