Email Setup for Android

This simple set of instructions outlines the procedure to properly set up your personal email accounts on your android device in just five simple steps.

Your device will provide instant access to your Gmail, Google Contacts, and Google Calendar as soon as you setup your Google account. Linking all of your various email addresses to your device is quick and easy. If you failed to setup your Google account during initial setup, from the home screen, open the “Applications Tray”, tap “Gmail” and follow the on screen instructions.

To setup other accounts, however, follow the instructions below:
