Just as you do it on any android phone, remember the emulator will always try to behave as a regular device, so i leave you some screenshot to help you out:

enter image description here

Then you just set your email and password.

Update Seems that you are getting a "Unable to open connection to server.", please do the following:

Check if you can browse with your emulator
if above is true then try: email username@gmail.com Password: ****** And on next you'll see a configuration where you can change the server change it to Server: m.google.com

Let me know!

On the emulator - make sure it runs an image with the google API's – J.G.Sebring Apr 15 '12 at 15:34
This is done prior to 3.0 in newer emulator (actually OS) you should have you option in Settings there is a group named Account there you should see an option for 'Add account' – Necronet Aug 06 '13 at 20:32
do I need to do that for every time I run the emulator, or that info gets saved? – João Pimentel Ferreira Feb 19 '23 at 17:59

first add an account through the accounts and sync. Then just configure the default email client in the emulator.

Emulator images don't contain gmail and market apps (and I think a few others). This is a common issue.

I think it is possible to get a few APKs and install them, but from what I know that is not legal - Google's license does not allow this software to be run on emulator. So, while it may work, it may be illegal for you to do so.
