Setting up e-mail

Begin by clicking or tapping Start. We're showing Windows Mobile 6 for non-touch screen devices (Standard), but the process is nearly identical for touch screen (Professional).

Then select Messaging.

Click New E-mail Account to start the setup.

Now enter the address for the account and click Next. You can set up a wide range of e-mail accounts, such as Web-based e-mail or e-mail from your broadband provider. Be sure “Try to get e-mail settings automatically” is checked.

Click Next, and the Auto Setup automatically enters your server settings.

Note: If Auto Setup can’t locate your server settings, you can check your settings and enter them manually following the steps described here.

Now enter the name you want to appear when you send messages. If you want to use a different name, you should change it now. Click Next.

Auto Setup has already entered your user name. Enter your password and ensure Save Password is selected. If you don't select this box, you'll have to enter your password each time you send and receive e-mail. Click Next.

If you would like to change your e-mail settings, such as how much e-mail to download, click Review all download settings. Otherwise, click Finish to start downloading messages. If you have not changed your download settings, you will download e-mail from the past three days. If you clicked Finish, skip the next step.

If you choose to Review all download settings, you can change the default message format, message size download limit, and whether to allow e-mail attachments to be automatically downloaded.

Your account name appears at the top, making it easy to see which e-mail inbox you’re viewing. You can use your navigator to see inboxes for other e-mail accounts as well.
