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.
E-mail Setup Wizard
Windows Mobile's E-mail Setup Wizard walks you through the process of setting up your e-mail account. It
has an Auto Setup feature which can automatically set up your e-mail account based on the e-mail address
and password that you enter, if your e-mail provider settings are preconfigured on your device. If the settings
are not found on your device, Auto Setup then attempts to retrieve the settings online for which you may be
charged when your device connects to the Internet and downloads them. If it cannot find the e-mail settings
online, you need to enter them manually.
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.
