CHAPTER 9: Email on Your DROID

205

Figure 9–2. Adding email accounts to a single Gmail.

If you add accounts, you’ll want to decide if you should respond from the address that

received the email or always use your default email address. We find it less confusing to

respond with the same account that originated the email. Your default address is the

address you’ll use to compose new messages.

You can also add more accounts from your DROID without joining them in your Gmail

account. It’s just a matter of deciding how you’d rather manage your email accounts.

Forwarding and POP/IMAP

You can automatically forward a copy of each mail message to a different account and

either keep, archive, or delete the original message. This applies to all messages to that

account, but you can forward selectively by creating a filter.

For accessing email on your Android phone, you’ll want to enable IMAP (Internet

Message Access Protocol). This is the mail protocol that allows your account to sync

with your phone. You can also enable POP (Post Office Protocol) if you wish, but this

isn’t necessary for Android access.
