Using NOOK Email™
Your NOOK lets you send and receive email from one or more of your email accounts, such as your Gmail account,
your Yahoo! account, or your email account for work.
NOTE: This section describes the NOOK Email app. For information about the Gmail app, please refer to
Google’s Gmail documentation.
NOTE: Your NOOK must be connected to a Wi-Fi network in order to send and receive email.
When it first connects to an email account, it retrieves the 50 most recent email messages. Thereafter it retrieves the
25 most recent messages.
Your NOOK lets you use email accounts that you already have, such your work email account. Barnes & Noble does
not provide email accounts.
Launching the Email Application
You can launch your NOOK Email app from the Home Screen or the Apps screen.
To launch Email from the Home Screen, do this:
1. Tap the NOOK button to display the Home Screen.
2. Tap the Email button at the bottom of the screen.
The Email app launches.
If you have not set up an email account, the Email application displays a screen for setting up an email account.
If you have already set up an email account, the Email application displays your Inbox.
Managing Email Accounts
Types of Accounts
Your NOOK supports three types of email accounts:
• POP (an Internet standard for email)
• IMAP (another Internet standard for email)
• Microsoft® Exchange
Most Internet service providers (ISPs) and free email services (such as Google and Yahoo!) support both POP and
IMAP. POP email programs usually send or receive messages in batches at timed intervals. IMAP establishes a continu-
ous connection between your email program and the email server. Many people find that IMAP provides more stable
service than POP, but both email protocols are popular and both work.
Setting Up an Account
You can set up multiple email accounts on your NOOK. For example, if you have a Gmail account and a Yahoo! ac-
count, you can send and receive email for both accounts on your NOOK. One of your accounts will be your default
email account, so that when you send messages from your NOOK, you’ll use that account automatically.
Your NOOK oers you two ways of setting up an email account. You can enter simply your email address and a pass-
word and let your NOOK automatically configure your account with those credentials, or you can manually configure
the account yourself.
