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.
