Using Nook Email; Launching The Email Application; Managing Email Accounts - Barnes & Noble NOOK BNTV250 User Manual

Using NOOK Email™

Your NOOK lets you send and receive email from one or more of your email accounts, such as your Gmail account,
your Yahoo! account, or your email account for work.
NOTE: Your NOOK must be connected to a Wi-Fi network in order to send and receive email.
NOTE: Your NOOK lets you use email accounts that you already have, such as a Gmail account. Barnes &
Noble does not provide email accounts.
Your NOOK Email Inbox retrieves the 25 most recent messages from each email account linked to your NOOK.

Launching the Email Application

You'll find the Email application in the Apps window. To launch the Email application, do this:
1. Tap the NOOK button to open the Quick Nav Bar. In the Quick Nav Bar, tap Apps.
2. In the Apps window, tap the Email application.
The Email application launches.
If you have not set up an email account, the Email application displays a screen for setting up an email account.
If you have already set up an email account, the Email application displays your Inbox.

Managing Email Accounts

Types of Accounts
Your NOOK supports two types of email accounts:
• POP (an Internet standard for email)
• IMAP (another Internet standard for email)
Most Internet service providers (ISPs) and free email services (such as Google and Yahoo!) support both POP and
IMAP. POP email programs usually send or receive messages in batches at timed intervals. IMAP establishes a continu-
ous connection between your email program and the email server. Many people find that IMAP provides more stable
service than POP, but both email protocols are popular and both work.
Setting Up an Account
You can set up multiple email accounts on your NOOK. For example, if you have a Gmail account and a Yahoo! ac-
count, you can send and receive email for both accounts on your NOOK. One of your accounts will be your default
email account, so that when you send messages from your NOOK, you'll use that account automatically.
Your NOOK offers you two ways of setting up an email account. You can enter simply your email address and a pass-
word and let your NOOK automatically configure your account with those credentials, or you can manually configure
the account yourself.
