CC&N Tech Tools Blog-Tip #2 Email

December 19, 2011

For this post, we’re exploring E-mail use with the iPad.  Please feel free to comment if you have questions on this topic or would like to contribute to the blog. Thank you.

E-mail has become the main form of communication and document transfer in most business environments. The iPad includes support for a number of different types of email accounts and calendars. You can set up and view multiple e-mail accounts simultaneously.  You will need to choose whether you want separate inboxes for each account or if you prefer to put all your accounts in one inbox, you will see all your messages at once.  There are pros & cons to each approach, depending upon what your accounts focus on.

The iPad works with the most popular providers, including Google Gmail, Microsoft Exchange, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail and AOL — along with most industry-standard IMAP and POP email systems.

With this wide range of functionality, you don’t have to worry about security either, as you’re able to adjust your security settings to suit your specific needs. If you’ve used other e-mails tool previously, you’ll easily be able to operate e-mail on the iPad.  If not, just shoot your questions my way for a little set-up assistance.  (Note that I will address Security Settings in my next post, so be sure to take a look on the 31st of the month)

In the meantime, enjoy the Holidays,
