Email Setup
You'll need an e-mail account to sync with the Email app on your Fire phone. More than one account can
be added, offering combined or single account views. After you setup your e-mail account, it will
automatically sync with the Calendar and Contacts app (if supported by your e-mail provider) on your
phone.
The Email app supports most POP, IMAP, and Exchange accounts, including Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo!
Mail, and will automatically populate server settings during setup for most popular e-mail providers.
However, if you're prompted to manually set up your e-mail account, you'll need the e-mail settings for your
provider.
Tip: Many e-mail accounts use different protocols for sending and receiving e-mails. If you're not sure what
protocol your account is using, refer to your e-mail service provider.
POP3 (Post-Office Protocol) - POP contacts your e-mail server and downloads e-mails from the
•
server to your personal device. It will then delete the messages from the e-mail server (unless you've
specified otherwise).
IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) - IMAP contacts your e-mail server and syncs your Inbox
•
across multiple devices. With IMAP, your e-mail messages and any folders you created stay on the e-
mail server. When you search your e-mail, the search occurs on the e-mail server, which makes it
easy to access your e-mail from any device or computer.
Exchange - Exchange is an e-mail, calendar, and contact server developed by Microsoft that is
•
typically used by businesses and organizations.
To set up an e-mail account:
Note: If no e-mail accounts have been added to the device yet, you will automatically start at step 3 below.
