Adding and removing accounts, Add an account

Adding and removing accounts

You can add multiple Google Accounts and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync accounts. You may also be able to add other kinds of accounts, depending on your applications. Some you can add in the Accounts & Sync settings, as described in this section.

Others you add using an application that works with those kinds of accounts; for example, you can add IMAP and POP3 email accounts with the Email application (see “Adding and editing email accounts” on page 218).

Add an account

To add some accounts, you may need to obtain details from an IT support representative about the service to which the account connects. For example, you may need to know the account’s domain or server address.

You can do this in Contacts by pressing Menu and touching Accounts, or directly in the Settings application.

The Accounts & Sync Settings screen displays your current sync settings and a list of your current accounts.

See “Configuring account sync and display options” on page 131.

Touch Add account.
