While viewing the message list, you are also able to change the settings that are assigned to this account by tapping the Menu icon -- which is directly to the left of theHome icon -- and then tapping Account settings. The following options are available:

• Account name
• Your name
• Email check frequency
• Default account (make the current account the default email account on your Samsung Galaxy S)
• Email notifications
• Select Ringtone
• Vibrate
• Incoming settings (to modify IMAP or POP3 server settings)
• Outgoing settings (to modify SMTP server settings)

The menu icon also gives you more options, which include refresh, compose, folders, accounts and account settings.

Oddly, if you want to add another email account to your Samsung Galaxy S, it is done while viewing the message list of an account that has been previously setup. Tap the Menu icon -- which is directly to the left of the Home icon -- and then tap Accounts. Then start from the top of this guide to add another account.
