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.
1. Add a new e-mail account. See “Add an e-mail account” for
instructions.
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.
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.
