Hi, I received a an iPad2 with wi-fi from my children for Mother's Day, 2012. So am very new to this
Form of technology. I'm hoping as I get to use and know my iPad, I will feel a lot less apprehensive about
About the concept. Sounds silly I know, I have an iPhone 3G , and have had the Internet side
Switched off with my provider. But, hoping as I learn more, will come to the place where I have it re
connected.
My reason for joining this forum, after reading many others, looking for a way to be able to send emails as
There is no compose button, all the others are there, though. No sending emails until I found a
Way of rectifying this problem; any suggestions would be very welcome. I also enjoying reading forums and learning more about whatever the subject is on discussion. One can learn a good deal of useful things this way!

Thank you for responding to my post, and 'yes' I totally agree with you that it is a wonderful Mother's Day gift. Extremely generous.
But, thing is my kids all over.

I realised after I had sent my post it had NO info at all about my email. So, here goes, I'm running Google but thru Microsoft Exchange as this seemed to have less issues with initial setup. Every part of the email is there other than the compose button. On the home computer,
Which is not an apple product Gmail changed their layout so initially getting the compose side up, had to press Gmail heading and
Compose would appear. I tried this, to no avail. I've tried to reset mail, and different other suggestions that others had said helped them, only to find that what I was looking for wasn't what they were talking about. Baby steps! I hope this is what you needed. Ans sorry again for not being clearer at the start. Hope your all having a great day!!

I am using an empty inbox to demonstrate but it should serve its purpose. Tap the photo below for what you need to do to compose or reply to an email. Had I had an open email when I created the screen grab the reply icon would not be greyed out.

And WELCOME ABOARD!
