Add an account
To add some accounts, you may need to obtain details from an IT support representative about the service to which the account connects. For example, you may need to know the account’s domain or server address.

1 Open the Accounts & Sync Settings screen.

You can do this in Contacts by pressing Menu and touching Accounts, or directly in the Settings application.

The Accounts & Sync Settings screen displays your current sync settings and a list of your current accounts.

See Configuring account sync and display options.



2 Touch Add account.

3 Touch the kind of account to add.



4 Follow the onscreen steps to enter the required and optional information about the account.

Most accounts require a username and password, but the details depend on the kind of account and the configuration of the service you’re connecting to.

For details about adding accounts based on Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, see Adding and editing email accounts and the detailed tables in Changing email account settings. These sections also describe how to add an email account based on IMAP, POP3, or SMTP, using the Email application.

5 Configure the account.

Depending on the kind of account, you may be asked to configure what kinds of data you want to sync to the phone, name the account, and other details.

When you’re finished, the account is added to the list in the Accounts & Sync Settings screen. Depending on how you configured the account, email, contacts, and other information start syncing to your phone.

See Configuring account sync and display options for details about changing how the account is configured.

Remove an account
You can remove an account to delete it and all information associated with it from your phone, including email, contacts, settings, and so on.

You can’t remove the first Google Account you signed into on the phone, except by deleting all personal information from your phone. See Privacy settings to learn now to do that.

1 Open the Accounts & Sync Settings screen.

You can do this in Contacts by pressing Menu and touching Accounts, or directly in the Settings application.

The Accounts & Sync Settings screen displays your current sync settings and a list of your current accounts.

2 Touch the account to delete.

3 Touch Remove account.

4 Confirm that you want to remove the account.
