Add an account
To add some accounts, you may need to obtain details from system
administrator about the service to which the account connects. For example,
you may need to know the account's domain or server address.
1 Go to Settings > Personal > Accounts & sync.
2 Touch Add account.
3 Touch the kind of account to add.

the configuration of the service you're connecting to.
Depending on the kind of account, you may be asked to configure what
kinds of data you want to sync,
name the account, and other details.
When you're finished, the account is added to the list in Accounts & sync.
Depending how you configured
the account, email, contacts, and other information start syncing to your
device.

it from your device, including
email, contacts, settings, and so on.

Why use a Google Account?
Configure account sync options
You can configure synchronization options for any of your apps. You can also
configure what kinds of data you synchronize for each account. Some apps,
such as Gmail and Calendar, have separate synchronization settings that
provide more fine-grained control. In such cases, the settings you select at
the account level are still valid.
For some accounts, syncing is two-directional; changes that you make to
the information on your device are made to the copy of that information on
the web. Your Google Account works this way. Other accounts support only
one-way sync: the information on your mobile device is read-only.
To view the Accounts & sync settings screen described here:
1 From a Home or All Apps screen, touch the Settings icon .
2 Under Personal, touch Accounts & sync.
Some apps also have their own settings related to syncing. For example, to
control message syncing in
the Gmail app, touch Menu icon > Label settings > Sync messages.
