7.1 E-mail and Text Messages

Messaging is where all of your e-mail accounts and your text message account are located. You can send and receive Outlook e- mail, Internet e-mail through an Internet service provider (ISP), and text messages. You can also access e-mail from work using a VPN connection. For more information about e-mail and text messages, see Help on the device.

You need to set up an e-mail account that you have with an Internet service provider (ISP) or an account that you access using a VPN server connection (typically a work account) before you can send and receive mail.
