Have you ever needed to access your personal or work email account while on the go? Using today’s technology and these seven simple steps, you will be able to email anyone you wish no matter where you are!
In today’s fast paced world, being able to communicate efficiently with others is very important. Where time is money, a faster response time usually generates a better outcome. While text messaging between phones is a great way to send short communications, sometimes interaction between phone and computer is necessary. Below are a few scenarios that illustrate the advantages of accessing your email on your iPhone.
Imagine that you have just started the first day of your new job as a logistics coordinator for a large warehouse. While working on the floor in the warehouse, you remember that your boss wants you to send hourly email updates on an expedited order. One problem: your office is on the fifth floor of the office building next door. There has to be an easier way to communicate with your boss, other than running back and forth every hour. The solution: Set up your work email on your iPhone and send the emails from the warehouse floor!
Or, while on vacation, you want to share pictures of your recent visit to the zoo with your parents. The internet at the hotel is too expensive for you to send them from your computer, so you need another way to show your parents all of the cute animals you saw. If you set up your personal email on your iPhone, this will be no problem!
As a student, it is always important to stay informed on what is going on in each of your classes. Suppose that one day, your usually very strict chemistry teacher decides to give his students the day off and sends an email explaining that class has been cancelled. This is good news for your classmates, who read the email on their iPhones and enjoy the afternoon off. However, this is bad news for you, since you haven’t set up your email to your iPhone yet. When you hurry across campus to arrive on time, you find that you are the only one there and class has been cancelled. Save yourself from this sort of situation by following the steps below to install your email onto your iPhone.
