iPhone 3G: Mail, Contacts, & Calendar Settings

Video Transcript

"Customization, personalization. That's what the iPhone offers. Hi, I'm Rokosz, your digital lifestyle expert, and I'm going to show you how to change your calender, contact, and mail preferences under settings. It's real easy. We got to our homepage here, our desktop if you will, hit the settings button--the gears inside of it. And then we're going to simply go down to, well, mail, contacts, and calenders. Now, by showing you I accidentally hit it, so I'm going to go back. Mail, contacts, and calenders, and in here there is a plethora of choices. Now, we have no mail accounts set up. If I wanted to set up an account, boom, I would choose my Yahoo! mail, I would simply enter my name, address, and password, and how I want it to appear. So it doesn't have to appear as my long thing. It could just say home email, work email--it could say Bob for all I care. But just something that I can remember. And like that you're going to find it's going to set up the email accounts that you need. All right, we're going to go back over there to mail, and then we can show. I like to show two hundred recent messages. And I want to be able to preview not two lines, but five lines, which means I can virtually get the gist of most messages without even having to load them. So they're there on the phone. If I'm off network, boom, this bad boy's got it. A minimum font size--I like everything giant. All right, and then you have--you can show the carbon copy label, or ask before deleting. I like that--off rather, because if I'm going to delete it, I want it out of there. Always blind copy myself. I turn that on. If I'm sending something from here, I want to make sure. The signature--sent from my iPhone, I personalize that, and then over here, the calender, new invitation alerts, and time zone support. A lot of that is mostly for an import SIM contacts--that's if you're moving things from another SIM card. So all you have to do is go line by line and ask yourself, do I want to do it? Turn it on or off, and enter in the information. The iPhone makes setting up emails, using emails, customizing emails, easy. I'm Rokosz, your digital lifestyle expert, saying stream you later. Ooh, I got an email."
