Messaging Features 101

Instant Messaging

You can use MSN® Messenger on the Smartphone to send and receive instant messages. MSN Messenger on the Smartphone provides the same chat environment as MSN Messenger on your desktop computer. For example, you can chat with a single MSN Messenger contact, or with several contacts at once. You can switch between active chats, block contacts, and configure display settings, such as your name and current status (Away, Online, and so on).

Setting up Messaging

Your Smartphone is already set up for text messaging and voice mail messaging, if your phone service includes these features. You need take no additional steps to use them.

Setting up the Smartphone for instant messaging is described later, in “Sending and Receiving Instant Messages” on page 113. This section describes the steps required for setting up the Smartphone to send and receive email messages. You can use up to 8 different messaging accounts with the Smartphone.

Setting up Outlook Synchronization

Your Smartphone includes an Outlook E-mail account. You can synchronize this account with Outlook on your desktop computer or Exchange Server. When you do this, messages in the Outlook E-mail Outbox on the Smartphone are sent, and messages you have received in Outlook are copied to the Outlook E-mail account folders on your Smartphone. Only those folders that are marked for synchronization on your Smartphone are synchronized in this manner. Setting up the Smartphone for synchronization is described in “ActiveSync” on page 145. Specifying which ActiveSync folders to synchronize is described in “Mark a folder for synchronization” on page 112.

Note: To synchronize remotely, you must also configure a data connection. See “Phone Networks” on page 86.

Another way to send and receive email messages is by using Internet email. To do this, you must:

•Have an Internet email account.

•Configure a data connection on the Smartphone for connecting to the Internet. See “Phone Networks” on page 86.

•Set up an Internet email account in Messaging.
