>> In this lesson, you'll learn how to set up an email address
and send an email
on your AARP
RealPad Android tablet.
In order to access email,
the RealPad tablet
will need to be online.
If you haven't connected
the RealPad to the Internet,
we recommend watching
the Connecting my Wifi video.
The RealPad
provides two options
for setting up email.
If you already have
an existing email address,
you can connect it
to the RealPad.
On the RealPad, you can also create a Gmail address.
Gmail is Google's
email service.
Keep in mind, you can also sign up for email
from other email services such as Yahoo and Hotmail.
To send and receive emails using Gmail,
you will need
a Google account.
A Google account allows you to download apps,
movies, music, and books
from Play Store,
back up your tablet,
chat with people
using Hangouts,
send and receive emails
through Gmail,
and much more.
By signing up
for a Google account,
you'll be given
a free Gmail address.
First, let's learn how to set up a Google account.
To create a Google account,
tap the RealPad toolbar icon
on the left side
of the navigation bar.
Tap the Settings folder.
Tap Google Account Settings.
Tap New.
Then follow
the on-screen instructions
to set up your account.
Note that you can
skip certain steps
including the step
to enter a credit card.
This simply allows you
to download apps
that cost money
to your RealPad.
You won't be charged
unless you choose
to download such an app.
Just tap Skip if you are
not comfortable with this step.
After setting up your account,
tap the Home icon to return
to the home screen.
To access
your Gmail account,
open the Google folder
by tapping it.
Then tap Gmail.
If you'd like to add
an existing email account
that isn't Gmail,
tap Email.
Enter your email address
and password.
Tap to check and uncheck
your account option preferences.
Enter your name
in the bottom line.
Then tap next.
You will be taken
to your inbox.
You can now send
and receive emails
using the RealPad.
To compose an email,
tap the envelope symbol.
Enter the email address
of the person
you would like to email.
Tap Subject.
Enter the subject of the email.
Tap Compose email.
Enter the message
you would like to send.
Tap Send.
Follow the same steps
to compose an email
using Gmail.
Enjoy using email on your RealPad.
