Synchronizing Outlook e-mail with your computer

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

If you have not yet installed the synchronization software nor created a partnership, do so by following the procedures in Chapter 5.

Tip To set up your company e-mail account so that you can access Outlook e-mail 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 e-mail server, see Chapter 7.
