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.
