note
The options on the iPad apply only to email accounts you've previously
created. If you want to sign up for a new service, say, a new Gmail
account, you need to do that either on your computer or using Safari on the iPad.
1.
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
2.
Under the Accounts heading, tap the Add Account button.
3.
Tap a service name that matches your account.
If you get your email from a different provider, tap the Other button
and then tap the Add Mail Account button.
4.
Enter a name for the account, the email address, and the password
(
Figure 4.2
). The Description field automatically fills in the name of
the service, but you can edit it separately if you prefer.

Enter account
information.
5.
Tap the Next button. The system verifies the information.
If you're setting up an Other account, enter the account type (IMAP
or POP) and the incoming and outgoing mail server information that
your provider gave you when you signed up.
6.
For services that support it, you can also set up over-the-air syncing of
contacts, calendars, and bookmarks. Make any of those services avail-
able by tapping their On buttons in the next screen. (See Chapter 10
for more on syncing personal information.)
