Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition E-mail Setup Guide

This guide will help you set up your e-mail software to use the currently-recommended IMAP protocol. An alternative POP-based guide is available if you are sure you want to use POP instead of IMAP.

1. Open the device's email client by selecting Messaging from the Start menu.

   • Outgoing mail: smtp.umn.edu
   • Domain: umn.edu
   
   
   
   
   
8. Tap Options.
9. For your device to check for new messages, automatically, check the Connect and check for new messages every box and set the check interval. Verify that Connection is set appropriately for your device. Tap Next.
   
   
   
   
10. Check the Require SSL connection, Outgoing e-mail server requires authentication, and Use Separate Settings boxes.

Tap Outgoing Settings.

12. Select either Get message headers only or Get full copy of messages from the drop-down list.

If receiving headers only, set the Include and When getting full copy, get attachments options accordingly. The Include option determines how much of the message will be downloaded initially.
