Testing your new account
After you finish setting up a new e-mail account, the Inbox of the account you just
created is displayed. You can test whether the e-mail account is set up and working
properly by tapping Get Mail. See “Getting e-mail by subject or getting the entire
message” later in this chapter for more information.
Creating a synchronize-only account
NOTE You must be using a Windows computer to create a synchronize-only account.
A synchronize-only e-mail account enables you to download, view, and manage
e-mail between the handheld and a desktop e-mail application, such as Microsoft
Outlook, by performing a HotSync operation by means of the cradle/cable. You
can’t send and receive messages wirelessly or with a modem for any account of this
type.
To create a synchronize-only e-mail account:
1. Press Function + Menu , select Accounts, and then select Account
Setup.
2. Tap New.
3. Do the following:
Account Name
Enter a descriptive name for this account, such as “My Yahoo.”
Mail Service
Tap the Mail Service pick list and select the provider to which
you are connecting. Select Other if your ISP is not listed. If you
set up a VPN on your handheld, the VPN connection appears
in the Mail Service pick list. Select this connection if you want
to connect to your corporate network using the VPN. See
“VPNs” earlier in this chapter for information.
