Mail

Mail is a rich HTML email client that retrieves your email in the background while you

do other things on iPod touch. iPod touch works with the most popular email

systems—including Yahoo! Mail, Google email, AOL, and .Mac Mail—as well as most

industry-standard POP3 and IMAP email systems. Mail lets you send and receive photos

and graphics, which are displayed in your message along with the text. You can also

get PDFs and other attachments and view them on iPod touch.

Setting Up Email Accounts

You must have an email address—which looks like “[email protected]”—to use

iPod touch for email. If you have Internet access, you most likely got an email address

from your Internet service provider.

If you chose automatic syncing during setup, your existing email accounts should be

already set up and ready to go. Otherwise, you can set iTunes to sync your email

accounts, or configure email accounts directly on iPod touch.

Syncing Email Accounts to iPod touch

You use iTunes to sync your email accounts to iPod touch. iTunes supports Mail and

Microsoft Entourage on a Mac, and Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 and Outlook

Express on a PC. See “Getting Music, Videos, and Other Content onto iPod touch” on

page 5.

Note: Syncing an email account to iPod touch copies the email account setup, not the

messages themselves. Whether the messages in your inbox appear on both iPod touch

and your computer depends on the type of email account you have and how it’s

configured.

If You Don’t Have an Email Account

Email accounts are available from most Internet service providers. If you use a Mac,

you can get an email address, along with other services, at www.mac.com. Fees may

apply.

Free accounts are also available online:

Â www.mail.yahoo.com

Â www.google.com/mail

Â www.aol.com
