How To: Setup Email on HTC Wildfire (such as Hotmail)

Would you like to be able to have your electronic mails on your new smartphone? Here is a free step-by-step guide, including photographs, on how to setup email accounts on the HTC Wildfire (should be very similar on other HTC models).

First click the mail logo.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Second choose the second option titled ‘Other (POP3/IMAP)’.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Enter your details into the fields, it only requires the email address and password. Click next and it will then take a few seconds to load saying ‘Verifying Account Information’ on the screen.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Then enter details such as your name for your outgoing email from the smartphone. In the pic it says ‘Hotmail’ but you could put what you want.

Hit finish and your done, the phone will then grab the current emails in your inbox.
 
 
 
 
 

It will then take a few moments to get used to using the email function, but it is easy once you get the hang of it. In the main email section is where you have the options to read existing mails, and see them via ‘Conversation’, ‘Favorites’, ‘Unread’ and ‘Attachments’.
 
 
 
 
 

When reading emails you will see the ‘reply’ and ‘reply all’ options as well as buttons for next and previous mails. And if you want to do things such as ‘mark as unread’, ‘forward’ or ‘delete’ the email simply hit the ‘Menu’ button on the phone and the options appear. Quite simple. Have fun!
