[Blindtlk] An issue with signing someone up with an Apple account

[Bonnie Lucas]

You know, I don't remember any link being sent but I'll check that tomorrow.
I now remember that a link has to be sent. 
Thanks for the advice.
I'll check my devices as well.

Bonnie

Hi Bonnie,

Do you happen to know if you're using POP3 or IMAP for your email?

Imagine you have two houses. With POP3, email works like physical mail being
delivered. If you go to your second house, the mail that the mailman
delivered to your first one won't be there unless you thought to take it
with you. 

IMAP is like magic mail that gets delivered to all your houses or in this
case, devices. You also have access to messages you sent across all your
devices, regardless of tbe device from which you sent it. 

So if you want mail on both phones, use IMAP. The vast majority of providers
support both. 

On the Apple account, did your friend get a confirmation email with a link
to activate the account? They may need to click the link first if so. 

Cheers,

Ed
