Tip: Windows Mobile - More E-Mail Basics
Here are some more tips to get your wireless e-mail up and running successfully and efficiently on your Windows Mobile PDA or smartphone. If you haven't seen part one yet, you can check it out here.
Setting Up E-Mail
Before you can send and receive e-mail messages using the Messaging feature on your Windows Mobile device, you'll need to set up your e-mail account(s). The E-mail Setup Wizard will walk you through the process for both Outlook mail and other POP3/IMAP4 addresses. You'll need your account type (POP3 or IMAP), your user name and password, your account name (for sending and receiving mail), and the SSL, if required, for outgoing mail.
Mobile Web Mail
Using your Windows Mobile device's Web browser, you can get access to your Web-based mail (such as Gmail). Although you can use the same Web address that you use when you check your account from your PC, you'll get faster and better results if you use the page designed specifically for mobile devices. For Hotmail, type http://mobile.msn.com/hm/folder.aspx. For Yahoo!, type http://mobile.yahoo.com/mail. For Gmail, type http://m.gmail.com.
Windows Live & Hotmail
Windows Live enables you to access your MSN Hotmail account and manage your Hotmail folders. (To set up a Hotmail account, go to www.hotmail.com.)
To activate Windows Live on your device, tap Start, then Programs, then Windows Live. Tap Sign in to Windows Live. (If it's your first time, read the Terms of Use and Privacy Statement and tap Accept.)
Enter your username and password. You can select the "Save password" check box if you do not want to enter your password in the future.
You can also choose whether or not to show Windows Live's search bar and applications on the Today screen by checking the appropriate boxes.
Once you've made your selections, tap Next.
Choose what information you want to sync online with your device from the list (Contacts and Messenger, E-mail, etc.) and then tap Next.
After the synchronization is complete, tap Done.
On the Windows Live screen, you will see your Live Mail information. Tap the left or right arrow to switch between Windows Live Messenger, Live Mail, and Sync status.
Tap the Live Mail area to access your e-mail messages.
