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.

4. Enter Your name and the Account display name and then tap Next.
Note If the E-mail Setup wizard was unsuccessful in finding and downloading settings
from the Internet, select Internet e-mail from the Your e-mail provider list on
the next screen. You will be asked to enter e-mail server settings. See To specify
e-mail server settings” for details.
5. 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."
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
the Network connection list, select the data connection that you use for
connecting to the Internet.

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.
