Synchronizing Outlook e-mail with your computer
If you have installed the synchronization software on your computer 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,
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 an over-the-
air connection with your company’s Exchange Server. For more information about
synchronizing with your company e-mail server, see Chapter 7.
Setting up an Internet e-mail account
Use Windows Mobile’s E-mail Setup Wizard to 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 service provider, or a web-based account such as
Yahoo! Mail Plus or AOL. You can also add a work account that you access using a
VPN server connection as a POP3/IMAP4 account.
Note You can also set up an Internet e-mail account from the TouchFLO 3D Mail tab using
the simplified Mail Setup. See “Mail” in Chapter 3 for details.
1. Tap Start > All Programs > Messaging > Setup E-mail.
2. Enter your E-mail address and the Password for your e-mail account and
select the Save password option. Tap Next.
3. If e-mail provider settings are found preconfigured on your device, the E-mail
Setup wizard shows a successful message. Tap Next.
If the settings are not found on your device, select the Try to get e-mail
settings automatically from the Internet checkbox to find and download
e-mail server settings from the Internet and then tap Next.
Note You may be charged when your device connects to the Internet and downloads
the e-mail server settings.

format as HTML or plain text, and more. For more information, see “To customize
download and format settings."
6. Tap Finish.
To specify e-mail server settings
If Auto Setup is unsuccessful, contact your ISP or e-mail provider for the Incoming
mail server and Outgoing mail server settings so you can enter them on your
device.
Other options that you can select include the following:
• Select the Outgoing server requires authentication check box, if required
by your provider.
• If the outgoing e-mail server requires a different user name and password
for sending e-mail, clear the Use the same user name and password for
sending e-mail check box. You will be prompted to enter this information.
• Tap Advanced Server Settings, then select the Require SSL check boxes if
your e-mail provider uses an SSL connection for more secured e-mail. From

and enter them on your device.
Note You can set up an Outlook e-mail account that synchronizes with the Exchange Server
from the TouchFLO 3D Mail tab using Mail Setup. See “Mail” in Chapter 3 for details.
If you have not synchronized your device with your computer, follow these steps to
set up an Exchange Server connection.

Your device gives you instant access to your company e-mail messages and lets you
manage your messages easier. Direct Push, Fetch Mail, Remote e-mail search, and
e-mail flags are just some of the tools you can use to manage your e-mail messages.
Note Some messaging features depend on the Microsoft Exchange Server version used in
your company. Check with your network administrator for the availability of these
features.
Automatic synchronization through Direct Push
Direct Push technology (push e-mail feature) enables you to receive new e-mail
messages on your device as soon as they arrive in your Inbox on the Exchange Server.
Items such as contacts, calendar and tasks are also immediately updated onto your
device when these items have been changed or new entries have been added on
the Exchange Server. To make Direct Push work, you need to have a Wi-Fi or data
connection on your device.
You need to perform a full synchronization between your device and the Exchange
Server before Direct Push can be enabled.
Requirement The Direct Push feature works for your device only if your company is
using Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) with Exchange

peak and off-peak times, tap the peak times link at the bottom of the screen.
Instant download through Fetch Mail
The Fetch Mail feature downloads an entire e-mail immediately without the need
for you to perform a full Send/Receive action. This limits the download to just the

provider’s GPRS/3G network. Check with your wireless service provider to find out
about GPRS/3G rates.
If you completed the Connection Setup process for auto-configuring the data
connection the first time you turned on your device, your device is ready to use
your wireless service provider’s GPRS/3G services. Do not change the connection
settings as this may cause services to stop working. If you need to add another
GPRS/3G connection on your device, contact your wireless service provider.
