device, and then your device is ready to send and receive Outlook email messages.
If you have not yet installed the synchronization software nor created a partnership, see “Setting Up Windows
Mobile Device Center on Windows 7 and Windows Vista” on page 76 or “Setting Up ActiveSync on
Windows XP” on page 77 for instructions.
