Hi, if it's a user name field, the @ sign will be there. if ti's a server field it may not be there, although I have seen it on occasion. So it depends. However as others have said, it may be in a different location. If ti's not in the usual spot of an email address entry field, then tap the more numbers button under the left shift, and the @ sign will be toward the right, where the letter K or L usually is. -- Raul A.
