How to Set Up Email on the Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet
An Amazon Fire tablet is the quintessential mobile entertainment device but you can use it to keep track of other things going on by setting up your email accounts.
An Amazon Fire tablet is the quintessential mobile entertainment device. They are affordable and great for watching movies, TV shows, reading, shopping, listening to music, playing games, and more. While you can get lost in all the entertainment options, there are effective ways to keep track of work items and stay productive, too. One such tool is the email app and here’s a look at how to set it up.
Email on Amazon Fire HD Tablet
Setting up your email on the new Fire HD 10 is essentially the same as it is on any other mobile device. From the home screen tap on the Email app icon to launch it.
If you’re settings up a typical web-based email account such as Gmail or Microsoft, type in your email address, password, and then tap Next.
The email app provides advanced setup options, too. Typically, you’d use to connect to an Exchange server or if you need to change security and port settings. Note that if you have 2FV or 2FA enabled on your email account, and you should, then you will need to use the second verification method the provider uses such as a text to your phone. Or, in the case of setting up one of my Microsoft email accounts, I needed to generate an app password.
Once you have everything set up correctly, the app works as you would expect a mobile email app to work. At first, you swipe through a short set of basic instructions on how to use the app.
Again, it’s a straight-forward and intuitive user experience, with the ability to create folders and make sure your messages are synced. And, for all of you Emoji fans, the keyboard does include a good amount of them by default.
Of course, you can go into Settings to create an email signature, customize notifications, set an Out-of-Office Message for each account. You also change other settings so the app works in a way that’s best for you.
While there are tools on the Fire tablets, like email, that help you keep up-to-date with important dealings of the day, these tablets aren’t optimized for productivity. Still, if you need to get a bit of work done between binging on episodes of Stanger Things, you can.

My default email, Bing, has been hijacked by Google and I have to use and it won’t let me reset it back. If I elect to go back to factory settings, I lose everything. Don’t know what to do. I have a Kindle Fire HD 10, 5th Generation.

I am attempting to transition from my old Samsung tablet over to my new Fire 10 tablet, but I’m having some challenges getting my Gmail to display properly. The Fire Tablet seems to want to display my messages in a split screen format with the message list on the left third of the screen and the content of the selected email on the right 2/3 of the screen. I’d like to be able to select my message from a full screen message list and then have the message displayed on a full screen basis as well. Is there something in the settings that will allow me to get to where I’d like to be? Any help or guidance that you can give me to accomplish this would be much appreciated! jgreyone@gmail.com

It keeps wanting a phone #. I don’t have a cell phone. Amazon says they can’t help. Why do I need a stupid phone # for email? Good luck responding to this as I can’t get any of my emails!!!

I will not set up my Gmail on this new Fire HD Tablet because Goodgle wants the rights to write, change and/or delete anything on my tablet. What the hell is this about?

I can’t get aol mail on my Kindle Fire. I accept the terms, and repeatedly get authentication failed. Try again. I downloaded a separate aol app. Aol responds to my requests for help by saying that due to Covid, nobody can help me. We pay for this. Now they sent an e mail about 3rd party apps. I figured i would re-enable aol on my Silk browser, but it just won’t work, and I am left stranded. Can, or will, anyone help? Amazon has no clue what to do, aol won’t answer me, and this stuation stinks. Very dissatisfied.

I was told by AOL, that it won’t work on Kindle Fire 10. I’ve had AOL forever, and don’t want to change. I downloaded an app for Kindle which was okay, but now I can fin ho access MAIL! Any suggestions?

I went to the Kindle store and installed a separate AOL app.. It works fine, and displays new, old , sent mail, with an option to save on aol. It also allows me into the new page instantly.
Aol called Amazon and Amazon is supposed to be working on this. I’m okay with the app.
Hope this helps.

I use Gmail. Amazon will cripple the gmail website and the Silk browser will add red misspelling marks to correctly spelled words, and even combine strings of words like:
” I am sen”ding this email from a horrible tablet.
(It will underline what is in quotes; actually SPLITTING words)

I say this because I see NO function on the fire email program and it just seems to underline random red words and ask me to add them to a dictionary. With no suggestions

I cannot get the outgoing server to work when I put my Cox Webmail on the Fire HD 10. Followed all the instructions correctly, but it just won’t recognize the outgoing server.
