6.5 E-mail Setup Wizard
Windows Mobile’s E-mail Setup wizard walks you through the process of setting
up your email account. It has an Auto Setup feature which can automatically set
up your email account based on the email address and password that you enter, if
your email provider settings are preconfigured on your device. If the settings are
not found on your device, Auto Setup then attempts to retrieve the settings online
for which you may be charged when your device connects to the Internet and
downloads them. If it cannot find the email settings online, you need to enter them
manually.
Note For more information about setting up your company Outlook email account, see
Chapter 7.

Set up a POP3 or IMAP4 email account on your device if you have an email account
from an Internet service provider (ISP) or other email service provider, or a web-
based account such as Gmail, Yahoo! Mail Plus, or AOL. You can also add a work
account that you access using a VPN server connection as a POP3/IMAP4 account.
