Getting started with Email

Use the Email application in your phone to send and receive emails through your

regular email account or through your corporate account. Or you can do both. Your

phone can handle several email accounts at the same time. You can set up these

accounts to run through one combined inbox, or through separate inboxes. Note that

emails you receive to your Gmail™ account can be accessed in the phone from both

the Email and the Gmail™ applications.

Your corporate Microsoft® Outlook® email messages have to be stored on a

Microsoft® Exchange server for the functionality described above to work. See

Synchronizing

your corporate email, calendar and contacts

on page 93 for more information.
