Multiple Email Accounts

If you have multiple email accounts in your Android device (for example one work and one personal) then it's likely the first email account you setup will be set to the default. Any emails you send from your Android device will be sent from your default email account, although this can be changed manually in each new email. 

  

 

Configure Manually

If you use a common email provider, your device will load your email settings automatically. If your device doesn't load these settings automatically and you don't know them, contact Megabyte and ask for the following information:
