Manage online accounts
You can set up online accounts in the Accounts application, or in
individual applications on your device. For most account types, the online
account must already be set up on the web or server before you can add
it to your device.
The exception is Skype accounts. You can sign in to a Skype account you
already have set up on the web, or you can create a new Skype account
directly on your device.
Whether you decide to set up your online accounts in the Accounts app
or from within an individual app, the process is the same. You can specify
which apps should get data from the online account. For example, you
can choose to set up your Google account so that your device displays
your Google contacts, Google Talk instant messages, and Gmail
messages, but not your Google calendar events.
• To set up an online account in the Accounts app: See Use the Accounts
application to set up an online account for details.
• To set up within an individual app: The first time you open Email,
Contacts, Calendar, or Messaging, you are given the option to enter
settings for one or more online accounts. See Set up email, Use
Contacts for the first time, Use Calendar for the first time, or Set up an
instant messaging (IM) account.
• To create a new Skype account, see Create a Skype account in
Accounts, Create a Skype account in Messaging, or Create a Skype
account in Phone & Video Calls.
• To sign in to an existing Skype account, see Sign in to a Skype account
in Accounts, Set up an instant messaging (IM) account, or Sign in to a
Skype account in Phone & Video Calls.
You can add more accounts at any time using the Accounts app or the
preferences in any of the applications mentioned above. See Set email
preferences, Customize Contacts, Customize Calendar, or Set up an
instant messaging (IM) account.
You can also set up your device to post photos to online accounts such as
Facebook or Snapfish. See Set up an online pictures or videos account on
your device.
See Online accounts available for webOS devices for the current list of
default online accounts that synchronize your info and those that do a
one-way transfer of info either from the web to your device, or from your
device to the web.
NOTE If you are setting up your device for the first time and downloading a
large number of contacts or calendar events from an online account to your
device, you may not see all your data on your device right away. Some online
account providers such as Google set limits on the amount of data that a user
can import in a given time frame. Also, if you have many years’ worth of data
or thousands of entries in an online account, you may want to review the data
and reduce the number of entries before setting up the account on your device.
Filling your device memory with a large number of account entries can affect
performance.
Use the Accounts application to set up an online account

KEY TERM Online account An online account is a web-based or server-based
location, such as Google, Yahoo!, or Exchange, where you keep contacts and/
or calendar information. These accounts often have an email component as
well. Such web-based or server-based accounts are sometimes talked about as
being “in the cloud.”
The HP Synergy feature works in the background to get data from an online
account onto your device. After you set up one of these accounts on your
device, you can access the data from that online account. For some kinds of
accounts, you can also add and change data on your device, which is then
synchronized to the online account in the cloud.
