So let’s get ourselves oriented to this interface (which, by the way, if you have already set up an account and then start the Email app is the screen you see initially).

- Account: Tap this to change which email account you are viewing.
- Folders: Tap this to see a different folder (Inbox, Sent, ToKeep, etc.).
- Email Checkbox: Tap this to select an email to delete.
- Delete: Tap this delete any selected emails.
- Email: Tap this to open the email.
- Sync: Tap this to connect with the email server and see if you have any new emails.
- Search: Tap this to search your email.
Let’s look at a few of these items in more detail.

In the To box, either type the email address you want to send the email to or tap the Contacts button and select a contact (or contacts). If you want to CC or BCC an email address, tap the CC:/BCC: line. This expands into two separate text boxes: one for CC and one for BCC.
If you want a subject line for your email, tap the Subject text box and type in the subject.
To begin typing your message, tap the large text box that states “Enter message here.” Type the email. When you are ready to send, tap Send. If you want to cancel your email, simply tap Cancel. Note that there currently is no draft option (you can always just email yourself if you need to save an email in progress).
Account
Tapping the account button displays your existing accounts. Tap the account you want to shift to. Tap Accounts to add and modify accounts (see Figure 9).
