Later, look for an email at the address you used to create your HP webOS Account.
Although you create an HP webOS Account by entering a valid email address, setting up an HP webOS Account is different from setting up email on your device. To set up email, see Set up email.

It’s also likely that you store some personal data in accounts that you created on the web. These are called online accounts.
