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.
Set up Outlook e-mail
When starting ActiveSync on your computer for the first time, the Synchronization
Setup Wizard prompts you to set up a synchronization relationship. This allows you to
synchronize Outlook e-mail and other information between your device and your computer
or the Exchange Server. If you have already set up synchronization through the wizard,
then your device is ready to send and receive Outlook e-mail.
If you have not set up a synchronization relationship yet, do the following to set up your
device to synchronize Outlook e-mail:
1. To synchronize remotely, you need to set up and connect to an over-the-air connection
(such as the dial-up connection). For details, follow the procedures in “Connecting to
the Internet” in Chapter 6.
2. Disconnect your device from your computer or LAN. (If you have an over-the-air
connection, there is no need to disconnect).
3. Tap Start > Programs > ActiveSync.
4. If you want to synchronize e-mails directly with the Exchange Server on a private
network such as your corporate network, follow the steps in “To synchronize directly
with Exchange Server” in Chapter 4.
5. Choose which information types to synchronize. Make sure E-mail is selected. For
details, follow the steps in “To change which information is synchronized” in Chapter 4.
Whenever you want to manually send or receive Outlook e-mail on your device, just
connect your device to your computer, LAN, or over-the-air connection, then tap Sync on
the ActiveSync screen or tap Menu > Send/Receive in Outlook on your device.
For details about scheduling automatic synchronization or setting a synchronization time
with the Exchange Server, see “Schedule synchronization with Exchange Server” in
Chapter 4.
