Synchronizing 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 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.

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.
