How to set up email on the LG KU990 Viewty

The LG KU990 Viewty has a broadband-speed 3G/HSDPA connection which means that downloading emails on a regular basis becomes a viable option.

However it pays to check with your mobile operator's service plan to ensure that the cost of checking and downloading emails in this way does not ring up prohibitively expensive data charges. This is particularly important when you travel overseas - in such situations you should make sure that the email application is not set to check for email automatically.

This guide assumes that you have set up your LG KU990 Viewty to connect to the Internet. If you have not, check out this Internet set-up guide first.
