> Setting up an Internet Email Account

> 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.

> 1. | Add a new email account. See "Adding an Email Account" for instructions.

> 2. | Enter your email address and the password for your email account and select the Save password option. Tap Next.

> 3. | If email provider settings are found preconfigured on your device, the Email Setup Wizard shows a successful message. Tap Next.

> If the settings are not found on your device, select the Try to get e-mail settings automatically from the Internet check box to find and download email server settings from the Internet and then tap Next.

> 4. | Enter Your name and the Account display name and then tap Next.

> Note | If the Email Setup Wizard was unsuccessful in finding and downloading settings from the Internet, select Internet e-mail from the Your e-mail provider list list on the next screen. You will be asked to enter email server settings. See "Specifying Email Server Settings" for details.

> 5. | In the Automatic Send/Receive list, choose how frequent you want email messages to be automatically sent and downloaded on your device.

> Note | Tap Review all download settings to select download options, set the email format as HTML or plain text, and more. For more information, see "Customizing Download and Format Settings".

> 6. | Tap Finish.

> Specifying Email Server Settings

> If Auto Setup is unsuccessful, contact your ISP or email provider for the Incoming mail server and Outgoing mail server settings so you can enter them on your device.

> Other options that you can select include the following:

> | Select the Outgoing server requires authentication check box, if required by your provider.

> | If the outgoing email server requires a different user name and password for sending email, clear the Use the same user name and password for sending e-mail check box. You will be prompted to enter this information.

> | Tap Advanced Server Settings, and then select the Require SSL check boxes if your email provider uses an SSL connection for more secured email. From the Network connection list, select the data connection that you use for connecting to the Internet.

> Customizing Download and Format Settings

> Before you tap Finish when setting up your POP3 or IMAP4 email account, you can tap the Review all download settings link at the bottom of the screen to choose download options, message format, and other settings.

> Options | Description
> Automatic Send/Receive | You can select a time interval for connecting to the Internet automatically to send and receive messages.
> Download messages | Set the number of days of messages that you want to be downloaded to your device.
> Send/receive when I click Send | By default, messages are immediately delivered when you tap Send. If you prefer to save outgoing messages to the Outbox folder first, clear the check box. (In this case, you will need to manually send messages by tapping Menu > Send/Receive).
> Use automatic send/receive schedule when roaming | This allows your device to data roam when there is a set time interval for connecting to the Internet automatically. Since this may result in higher connection costs, you may want to leave the check box cleared.
> When deleting messages | Choose whether to delete messages from the mail server when you delete them on your device.
> Message format | Select HTML or Plain Text.
> Message download limit | Select the email download size. If you have large volumes of email, use a lower size or select to download headers only.
