Mail
Mail is a rich HTML email client that retrieves your email in the background while you
do other things on iPod touch. iPod touch works with the most popular email
systems—including Yahoo! Mail, Google email, AOL, and .Mac Mail—as well as most
industry-standard POP3 and IMAP email systems. Mail lets you send and receive photos
and graphics, which are displayed in your message along with the text. You can also
get PDFs and other attachments and view them on iPod touch.
Setting Up Email Accounts
You must have an email address—which looks like “yourname@example.com”—to use
iPod touch for email. If you have Internet access, you most likely got an email address
from your Internet service provider.
If you chose automatic syncing during setup, your existing email accounts should be
already set up and ready to go. Otherwise, you can set iTunes to sync your email
accounts, or configure email accounts directly on iPod touch.
Syncing Email Accounts to iPod touch
You use iTunes to sync your email accounts to iPod touch. iTunes supports Mail and
Microsoft Entourage on a Mac, and Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 and Outlook
Express on a PC. See “Getting Music, Videos, and Other Content onto iPod touch” on
ch 5.
Note: Syncing an email account to iPod touch copies the email account setup, not the
messages themselves. Whether the messages in your inbox appear on both iPod touch
and your computer depends on the type of email account you have and how it’s
configured.
If You Don’t Have an Email Account
Email accounts are available from most Internet service providers. If you use a Mac,
you can get an email address, along with other services, at www.mac.com. Fees may
apply.
Free accounts are also available online:
www.mail.yahoo.com
www.google.com/mail
www.aol.com
Setting Up an Email Account on iPod touch
You can set up and make changes to an email account directly on iPod touch.
Your email service provider can provide the account settings you need to enter.
Changes you make on iPod touch to an email account synced from your computer are
not copied to your computer.
To use the online Mail Setup Assistant, go to:
www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/mailhelper
Enter account settings directly on iPod touch
If this is the first account you’re setting up on iPod touch, tap Mail. Otherwise, from the
Home screen choose Settings > Mail > Accounts > Add Account.
Choose your email account type: Y! Mail (for Yahoo!), Google email, .Mac, AOL,
or Other.
Enter your account information:
If you’re setting up a Yahoo!, Google email, .Mac, or AOL account, enter your name,
email address, and password. After that, you’re done.
Otherwise, click Other, select a server type—IMAP, POP, or Exchange—and enter your
account information:
Your email address
The email server type (IMAP, POP, or Exchange)
The Internet host name for your incoming mail server (which may look like
“mail.example.com”)
The Internet host name for your outgoing mail server (which may look like
“smtp.example.com”)
Your user name and password for incoming and outgoing servers (you may not need
to enter a user name and password for an outgoing server)
Note: Exchange email accounts must be configured for IMAP in order to work with
