Just as you do on your desktop PC or laptop, you have several options for reading and sending e-mail from your Windows Mobile device. Here are a few:
Messaging is where all of your email accounts (and your text message account) are located. You can send and receive Outlook mail or other e-mail from there.
The Web browser allows you to access Web-based mail accounts, such as Google or Yahoo!.
Windows Live enables you to send and receive e-mail with an MSN Hotmail account.
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync makes it possible to wirelessly sync your e-mail and other information directly with the data stored on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and 2007.
Some devices also have custom applications such as Good Mobile Messaging for IBM Lotus Domino customers.
--If your corporate e-mail system uses Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or 2007, your can use Exchange ActiveSync on your Windows Mobile device to sync your mail and organizer information directly with your company's Exchange server. To do this, though, you must have an account on the Exchange Server.
--Check with your system administrator to find out your Exchange Server address and domain name, user name and password, and any special security requirements, such as SSL authentication. You may also need to activate a data plan with your carrier to utilize ActiveSync.
--If your company uses Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 SP2 or 2007, the Global Address List (GAL) contains all user, group, and distribution list e-mail addresses for your organization and is stored on the Exchange Server. Using Exchange ActiveSync on your Windows Mobile device, you can access the GAL and use it to plan a meeting, update a group, or find e-mail addresses, etc.
