Types of Email Accounts

You can set up the following types of email accounts on your device:

Outlook email that you sync with your computer or the Exchange Server.

Email accounts that you have with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or other email provider.

Web-based email accounts such as Gmail®, Yahoo!® Mail Plus, AOL®, and others.

Work accounts that you access using a VPN connection.

Setting Up Your Device to Synchronize Outlook Email with the Computer

If you have installed the synchronization software on your computer and created a partnership with your device, and then your device is ready to send and receive Outlook email.

If you have not yet installed the synchronization software nor created a partnership, see “Setting Up Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows Vista” on page 64 or “Setting Up ActiveSync on Windows XP” on page 65 for instructions.

Tip

To set up your company email account so that you can access Outlook email messages wirelessly, you must set up your device to synchronize via an over-the-air connection with your company’s Exchange Server. For more information about synchronizing with your company email server, see “Setting Up an Exchange Server Connection” on page 168.

On the TouchFLO 3D Home screen, slide to the Mail tab and then touch Menu > Accounts > New Account.

— or —

Tap Start > Messaging > Setup E-mail.

The Email Setup Wizard then opens and lets you enter your email account settings. See “Email Setup Wizard” for details.

Email Setup Wizard

Windows Mobile’s EmailSetupWizard walks you through the process of setting up your email account. It has an Auto Setup feature that can automatically set up your email account based on the email address and password that you enter, if your email 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 email settings online, you need to enter them manually.

Note

For more information about setting up your company Outlook email account, see “Setting Up an Exchange Server Connection” on page 168.
