On a Samsung device, such as a Galaxy Note 4, part of the process for adding another Google account is slightly different and part of it is the same. To begin, swipe down from the top panel on the home screen and then touch the “Settings” (gear) button in the upper-right corner of the screen. On the “Settings” screen, scroll down to the “Account” section and then touch “Accounts.”
(If you already have a Google Gmail account you can skip this step – but you will need to know your email-address@gmail.com and it’s password) – Go to gmail.com and click on “Sign Up” – Fill in the details – you’ll need to pick a gmail email address (somethingunique@gmail.com) and a
– When you have finished you should get a verification page that says this at the bottom: Now it’s time to set up the Apple mail application on your computer.
AJ Noll Page 17
Scroll down to the bottom of the “Accounts” screen and touch “Add account.” The “Add account” screen displays. The green dots on the right side indicate accounts you current have on your device. Scroll down the list and touch “Google.”
– Open Apple mail, and go to the “Mail’ menubar at the top of the screen and then select ‘Preferences’ from the menu. – Select the ‘Accounts’ tab. From here you can manage your mail accounts.
AJ Noll Page 18
The rest of the procedure for adding another existing Google account on a Samsung device is the same as for a Google
screen, touch the “Back” button on your device twice or the “Home” button once to return to the Home screen.
You can also use Gmail to add an additional Google account to your device. Open the Gmail app and touch the menu icon in the upper-left corner of the screen. Then, touch “Add account” on the menu that opens. – Press the ‘+’ button – this means add a new account. – You will be prompted for some details:
Where it says ‘full name’ enter your name, this is not important but it will appear in the ‘ from’ field and can be anything.
Where it says ’email address’ put in your Gmail email address from step 1 above including the @gmail.com at the end.
Where it says ‘password’ enter your Gmail password
AJ Noll Page 19
On the “Add account” dialog box, make sure “Google” is selected and then touch “OK.” The rest of the procedure is the same as for a Google device from step 1 above. It will then verify that the email address and password are correct and then display a confirmation screen. It should say that the Account type is “Gmail IMAP” as follows: – Press ‘Create’ – You will be taken back to the Apple Mail preferences screen. There are some settings you

and a Samsung device. Now you can view information for Google Services for all accounts added to the device. Note that you need to select to sync the different services for each account you add. If you try to access a service for an email address for which you did not choose to sync information, you will be prompted to sync that service. should change here.
You pretty much need to set them to the opposite of the Apple default. Tick the ‘Junk’ and un-tick everything else like this:
AJ Noll Page 21
EXPLANATION OF ADVANCED SETTINGS
You don’t want to tick “Drafts.” Every few minutes Apple mail makes a backup copy of your email as you are typing it. If you select this
gmail Drafts folder and you end up with lots of clutter! You don’t want to tick “Sent” because Gmail automatically keeps a copy of your sent messages and puts them in its ‘send mail folder’ so Apple mail does not need to. You only need this option checked if your email provider doesn’t keep a copy of your sent emails automatically. The “Trash” option is for email providers who don’t keep a copy of all your deleted emails. If checked it will save all your deleted items to a trash folder incase you want to undo the delete. Gmail automatically keeps a copy of every email that you delete so you don’t need to do this. You want the “junk” option ticked because Gmail automatically takes care of junk mail – you don’t want the Apple mail program deleting it.

Mail Protocols
IMAP - Internet Message Access Protocol POP3 - Post Office Protocol 3 SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol MAPI - Microsoft's proprietary email protocol SSL – Secure Sockets Layer
Port
A port means an endpoint to a logical connection for example a mail server. It is a number like 110, 143, or 25. There are incoming and outgoing mail servers and ports, each has a different number and name Example Google Gmail connection Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 995) Outgoing Mail Server - smtp.gmail.com (TLS enabled, port 587).
Password A password is an unspaced sequence of characters used to determine that a computer user requesting access to a computer system is really that particular user, i.e. authentication.
Adding an email account e.g. Gmail, TW, ATT, etc Create a new email account
POP3: POP3 will download the emails from the server
