IMPORTANT NOTE
If you connect the TV to the Internet, anyone with access to
the TV will be able to configure the TV to access e-mail
accounts for which they have account access information
(user name, password and server addresses).
If you set up any personal e-mail accounts on the TV,
anyone with access to the TV will be able to read e-mail
from those accounts unless you lock the profile for
each e-mail account (step 8).
You should consider these factors when deciding whether
to set up personal e-mail accounts and whether to keep the
TV set connected (or make available easy connection) to the
internet.
