If you have not yet installed the synchronization software nor created a partnership, see “Setting Up Windows
Mobile Device Center on Windows Vista” on page 75 or “Setting Up ActiveSync on Windows XP” on page
75 for instructions.
Adding an Email Account

Email Setup Wizard
Windows Mobile’s Email Setup Wizard walks you through the process of setting up your email account. It has
an Auto Setup feature that can automatically set up your email account based on the email address and
password that you enter, if your email 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 email settings
online, you need to enter them manually.
Tip
To set up your company email account so that you can access Outlook email 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 email server, see “Setting Up an Exchange Server
Connection” on page 119.
