Setting up an email address on an HTC phone makes it easy to stay in touch with business and personal contacts, even when you are away from your desk. Whether your HTC device runs Windows Mobile or the Android operating system, HTC smartphones have direct integration for email accounts using the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) and Post Office Protocol (POP) systems. Both classifications of devices can send and receive attachments, and email contacts directly out of your cell phone address book.
Instructions
Android Devices
1. Tap the "Mail" icon on the home screen of your HTC Android device. If the "Mail" icon is not on your home screen, open the "All Programs" tab and select "Mail."
2. Select the mail provider or account type you want to setup on the "Choose a mail provider" screen.
3. Enter the email address and password for your email account, as well as any other account information you want to enter, like the display name to be shown on all outgoing emails sent from your HTC Android device. After entering account information, press "Next."
4. Enter additional account information, if prompted. This is necessary if your account or server type is not automatically recognized by the Android operating system. Follow the on-screen prompts to provide your incoming and outgoing servers and press "Next" after completing each field.
5. Check your email. The next time you press the "Mail" icon on the home screen or in the "All Programs" menu," you will be taken to the newly-created email account.
Windows Mobile Devices
6. Press the "Home" button on your HTC Windows Mobile device and go the the "Mail" tab at the bottom of the screen.
7. Tap the "Menu" button in the lower-right corner of the screen and select "New Account" to enter the new account setup information.
8. Select the email provider with which you want to sync. Common email providers like AOL and Gmail can be setup automatically by entering your email address and password. If you are using a provider that is not listed, click "Other" to enter your server information.
9. Enter your incoming (POP or IMAP) and outgoing (SMTP) server information to sync up an account if asked. This information varies based on your Internet service provider, but it can vary. Typically, the incoming server is "pop.yourdomain.com" and the outgoing server is "smtp.yourdomain.com."
10. Select the frequency with which you want your HTC device to check your email. The more frequently that your phone connects to the server to download email, the faster the battery will drain. After confirming this setting, click "Done" on your Windows Mobile phone's screen.
