“next” at the bottom.

your email. You may skip this by tapping on the “next” button at the bottom.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. Input your name as you want it to show up in outgoing email,
input your complete email address as your username, and then your password.
Don’t forget to put a check on the “save password” box so you won’t be asked
for your password every time you download your email. Click “next” at the
bottom when you’re done.

|
| 5. Pick POP3 as the account type from the drop-down menu, and
then type in the name of this account (to identify it from you other email
accounts in Pocket Outlook). Tap “next” at the bottom. |
|
|
| 6. The next screen is where you type in your server details. If
you went through autoconfiguration successfully, chances are the blanks will be
automatically populated. If you set up the account manually, here are the
things you need to type. In the “incoming mail” blank, type pop.gmail.com:995
and in the “outgoing mail” blank, type smtp.gmail.com:465. Leave the domain
field empty, and then tap on the Options button |

|
|
| 7. In the options window, configure the extra options available
for this email account. The first window lets you choose how often you would
like Pocket Outlook to connect to the Gmail server to send and receive email,
and which connection type to use. Uncheck this option if you want to send and
receive email on demand.
|
|
|
| 8. The second option page lets your Pocket Outlook display email
messages from a specific number of days. This is also where you configure
whether you would require SSL connection (leave checked), whether sending
outgoing mail would require authentication (leave checked) and whether you
would need different credentials for outgoing mail (leave “use separate
settings” unchecked. For different email accounts, you may need to adjust these
settings in order to properly send outgoing messages.
|
|
|
| 9. Finally, the last page of the options window lets you choose
whether to download only the headers of your email or the full email each time
you connect to the mail servers. This is particularly useful when you are on a
kilobyte-based data plan. |
