How do I create a Gmail account on my Android phone?
A Gmail account (Google?s free email account from Gmail.com) is required once your phone is activated to access Gmail, Market Place, and Calendar. We recommend that a Gmail account be created, if they don?t have one already, in order to take full advantage of what Android offers. If you do not have a Google Account, the phone will prompt you to create one and will guide you step by step to do so.
You can also create multiple personal email accounts (Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, etc).
To create the accounts:
- Go to the Android Market.
- Download the desired Email application.
- Once the application is downloaded, you will need to sign in with your email credentials (username and password).
- After setting the sync settings, emails will begin displaying on your phone. NOTE: It can take between 15 ? 30 minutes to sync email to your phone.
- Once the app and email has been set up, an icon will appear on the applications menu.
IMPORTANT: Corporate email account set-up questions/issues (domain, etc) will need to be handled between you and the company you work for.
