To help keep you electronically connected, the Samsung Galaxy Note and Samsung Galaxy tablet feature the capability to collect and send your electronic missives. You can read and compose missives just about anywhere you go, peruse attachments, forward messages, and do the entire e-mail e-nchilada all in one spot.

You can have oodles of fun and waste oceans of time confirming and customizing the e-mail experience on your Galaxy tablet. The most interesting things you can do are to modify or create an e-mail signature, specify how mail you retrieve is deleted from the server, and assign a default e-mail account for the Email app.

When you have more than one e-mail account, the main account — the default — is the one used by the Email app to send messages. To change that primary mail account, follow these steps:

  1. Start the Email app.

  2. On the Account menu, choose Combined View.

  3. Touch the Menu button and choose Settings.

  4. On the left side of the screen, select the e-mail account you want to mark as your favorite.

  5. On the right side of the screen, select the Default Account item.

The messages you compose and send using the Email app are sent from the account you specified in Step 4.

About the book author:

Dan Gookin has been writing about technology for 20 years. He has contributed articles to numerous high-tech magazines and written more than 90 books about personal computing technology, many of them accurate.
He combines his love of writing with his interest in technology to create books that are informative and entertaining, but not boring. Having sold more than 14 million titles translated into more than 30 languages, Dan can attest that his method of crafting computer tomes does seem to work.
Perhaps Dan’s most famous title is the original DOS For Dummies, published in 1991. It became the world’s fastest-selling computer book, at one time moving more copies per week than the New York Times number-one best seller (although, because it’s a reference book, it could not be listed on the NYT best seller list). That book spawned the entire line of For Dummies books, which remains a publishing phenomenon to this day.
Dan’s most recent titles include PCs For Dummies, 9th Edition; Buying a Computer For Dummies, 2005 Edition; Troubleshooting Your PC For Dummies; Dan Gookin’s Naked Windows XP; and Dan Gookin’s Naked Office. He publishes a free weekly computer newsletter, “Weekly Wambooli Salad,” and also maintains the vast and helpful Web site www.wambooli.com.
