How to Access Multiple Email Accounts on Your iPod Touch

Check multiple email accounts with Mail.

Use iPod touch's built-in email program, Mail, to set up multiple email accounts on your touch. Access Web-based email such as Yahoo! and Gmail, or any email account that uses the POP3 or IMAP protocols. Most major email providers use one or both protocols. To set up your accounts, gather the incoming and outgoing email server addresses provided by your email service. This information is found in the Help section of your email provider's website.

Things You'll Need

• Incoming and outgoing mail server address

Instructions

1. Tap the "Settings" icon on the iPod touch home screen.

2. Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars," then tap "Add Account."

3. Select the button marked MobileMe, Microsoft Exchange, Google, Yahoo! or AOL. If your email is none of those, select "Other," then "Mail."

4. Enter your email address and password into the appropriate fields. MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange require your account username. You can also add a description for the account.

5. Add your incoming and outgoing mail server if you selected "Other."

6. Tap "Save" and begin the process again to add additional email accounts. Continue until you've added all of your accounts.

7. Click the Home button to return to your home screen. Tap "Mail" to check your email accounts. The "Mailboxes" screen opens by default.

8. Open "All Inboxes" to see your incoming messages across all accounts, or select an individual inbox or account. All of your inboxes and accounts are listed in the Mailboxes screen.
