6.5 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 7.
Set up an Internet 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
service provider, or a Web-based account such as Gmail, 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.
