Sending and Receiving Email Messages
Testing your new account
After you finish setting up a new email account, the Inbox of the account you just created is 
displayed. You can test whether the email account is set up and working properly by getting 
messages. If you want to synchronize email on your handheld with email on your computer, you 
need to configure this account on your computer.

Set additional outgoing mail options:
a. Select any of the following:
Port Number
The default is 25, the
port number most SMTP servers 
use. If you are not sure about the 
correct port number, check with 
your system administrator.
Use Secure Connection
To send
outgoing mail over a secure (Secure Sockets Layer, or SSL) connection, check 
the Use Secure Connection box.
Authentication
Check the box if the outgoing server (SMTP) requires ESMTP
authentication. Check with your system administrator before selecting this 
option. If you select this option, username and password fields appear. These 
fields are already filled in based on the account information you entered. In 
most cases, the information displayed is correct; however, occasionally your 
authentication username and/or password is different from your account 
username or password. 
b. Select Done.

Password box, enter a 
password, and then 
select OK. Check with 
your email service 
provider for 
authentication username 
and password 
information.
