The E-Mail Must Get Through - iPad Mini - page 107

Setting up your account the less-easy way
If you don't want to sync the e-mail accounts on your Mac or PC, you can set up an e-mail account
on your iPad mini manually. It's not quite as easy as clicking a box and syncing your iPad mini, but
it's not rocket science either. Here's how you get started:
If you have no e-mail accounts on your iPad mini, the first time you launch Mail, you see
the Welcome to Mail screen. Your choices are iCloud, Microsoft Exchange (business e-mail),
Google (Gmail), Yahoo!, AOL, Microsoft Outlook.com, and Other.
Merely tap the account type you want to add to the iPad and follow the steps in the next sec-
tion, the section “ Setting up an account with another provider , ” or the section “ Setting up cor-
porate e-mail , ” later in this chapter.
If you have one or more e-mail accounts on your iPad mini already and want to add a
new account manually, tap Settings on the Home screen and then tap Mail, Contacts, Calen-
dars ⇒ Add Account.
You see an Add Account screen shown in Figure 5-1 , with the same account options that are
shown on the Welcome to Mail screen. Proceed to one of the next three sections, depending
on the type of e-mail account you selected.
