7.4 Setting Up E-mail Accounts
Types of E-mail Accounts
Before you can send and receive e-mail, you need to set up your e-mail account on your device. You can set up
the following types of e-mail accounts on your device:
• Outlook e-mail that you synchronize with your PC or your company’s Exchange Server
• E-mail account that you have from an Internet Service Provider (ISP)
• Work account that you access using a VPN connection
• Other web-based e-mail accounts such as Gmail®, Yahoo!® Mail Plus, etc.
Set up your device to synchronize Outlook e-mail with the computer
If you have installed the synchronization software on your PC and created a partnership with your device,
then your device is ready to send and receive Outlook e-mail. If you have not yet installed the synchronization
software nor created a partnership, please do so by following the procedures in Chapter 5.
Tip To set up your company e-mail account so that you can access Outlook e-mail messages wirelessly, you must set
up your device to synchronize via a wireless LAN or over-the-air connection with your company’s Exchange Server.
For more information about synchronizing with your company e-mail server, see Chapter 8.
E-mail Setup Wizard
Windows Mobile’s E-mail Setup Wizard lets you easily set up your personal and work e-mail accounts. You can
add an e-mail account from an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or other e-mail provider as well as web-based
accounts.
Note For more information about setting up your company Outlook e-mail account, see Chapter 8.
To set up a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail account
Set up a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail account on your device if you have an e-mail account from an Internet service
provider (ISP) or other e-mail provider, or a web-based account such as Gmail, Yahoo! Mail Plus, etc. You can
also add a work account that you access using a VPN server connection as a POP3/IMAP4 account.
1. Tap Start > Messaging > New E-mail Account.
2. Enter your e-mail address, and select the Try to get e-mail settings automatically from the Internet
check box. By selecting the option, the device attempts to download e-mail server settings so that you
do not need to enter them manually. Tap Next.
3. After Auto Setup finishes, tap Next.
Note If Auto Setup is unsuccessful, select Internet e-mail from the Your e-mail provider list on the next screen. You will
also be asked to enter e-mail server settings during the setup process. See “To specify e-mail server settings” for
details.
4. Enter your name. You can also edit the Account display name field to specify the name of your ISP or
e-mail provider. Tap Next.
5. Enter your login name if it does not show automatically in the User name field. Also enter your
password, and select the Save password check box. Tap Next.
6. At this point, e-mail setup is complete. In the Automatic Send/Receive list, choose how frequent you
want e-mail messages to be automatically sent and downloaded on your device.
Note Tap Review all download settings to select download options, set the e-mail format as HTML or plain text, and
more. For more information, see “To customize download and format settings.”
7. Tap Finish.
