With support for POP3 and IMAP4 email, the LG Chocolate BL20 can be used to access your regular email accounts, including web-based email and email accounts from your ISP.

It’s easy to set up, with an email wizard to help you along. Settings for a number of popular web based email services, including Hotmail, Yahoo! and Google Mail, are pre-loaded, so you you don’t have to enter any complicated settings – simply your email address, password and user name.
