Accounts
You can sync contacts, email, calendar events, and other information
with your phone from multiple Google Accounts, Microsoft Exchange
ActiveSync accounts, or other kinds of accounts, depending on the
applications installed on your phone.
For example, you could start by adding your personal Google Account,
so your personal email, contacts, and calendar are always available.
Then you could add an Exchange ActiveSync account from work, so
you can read your work email and have your work contacts handy.
You configure how your account interacts with the applications on your
phone using the Account & Sync settings and the setting s in Gmail,
Calendar, Email, and other applications. Use a web browser to change
your password and other general account settings.
