You need to create an email address with your provider before adding it to you iPad. Contact Charter, or check out their support site to do so. Then add the email address to your iPad.

Dec 17, 2013 2:03 PM in response to Alfred DeRoseby Bigoguy17,First of all thanks for replying to me question. I am 69 and have only limited tech knowledge so if you wish to further help me take that into consideration. The iPad has my wife's email(yahoo) email acct. I have had a charter email acct and address for 5 yrs. I did go thru the steps to add an acct, and it shows up under Mail accounts, in the account info page my account shows up with the correct IMAP and STMP info. So now if I've done things correctly, wher do I go to open email from Charter?

I know we men hate this sort of thing. But, reading the manual will probably save you some future frustration. :-)
