Set up mail, contacts, and calendar accounts on iPod touch

In addition to the apps that come with iPod touch and that you use with iCloud, iPod touch works with Microsoft Exchange and many of the most popular internet-based mail, contacts, and calendar services. You can set up accounts for these services.

Set up a mail account

Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts > Add Account.
Do one of the following:
- Tap an email service—for example, iCloud or Microsoft Exchange—then enter your email account information.
- Tap Other, tap Add Mail Account, then enter your information to set up a new account.

Set up a contacts account

Go to Settings > Contacts > Accounts > Add Account > Other.
Tap Add LDAP Account or Add CardDAV Account (if your organization supports it), then enter your server and account information. See Use other contact accounts on iPod touch.

Set up a calendar account

Go to Settings > Calendar > Accounts > Add Account.
Tap Other, then do any of the following:
- Add a calendar account: Tap Add CalDAV Account, then enter your server and account information; see Set up multiple calendars on iPod touch.
- Subscribe to iCal (.ics) calendars: Tap Add Subscribed Calendar, then enter the URL of the .ics file to subscribe to; or import an .ics file from Mail.

For information about setting up a Microsoft Exchange account in a corporate environment, see the Apple Support article Set up Exchange ActiveSync on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

If you turn on iCloud Keychain on your iPod touch, your accounts stay up to date on all your devices that have iCloud Keychain turned on. See Use to iCloud Keychain to keep passwords, accounts, and more up to date with iCloud in the iCloud User Guide.
