As for email, I'm still somewhat confused as to how to set it up. Whenever I click the little envelope on the upper left corner of my HTC Mogul, I'm taken to the Messages Screen where I have the option to Send A Text message or Setup An Email Account. When I choose to set up an email account, I'm prompted to enter my email address and password. The problem is that it won't let me sign in, even when I use Internet Explorer and go to Hotmail.com.
You mentioned I need to use ActiveSync to set up an account to be able to read my MSN email, but is it necessary to connect my desktop computer as well? Keep in mind that all I want is the ability to check my email through my phone, and perhaps (if it's possible) to be notified through a text message if an email from a particular person has been received. I do not want the messages to be erased from the server because I want to be able to download them to my desktop and have my desktop remove them from the server. Again, I don't want to have my desktop's email synced to my device. I use Incredimail as my email client, not Microsoft Outlook.
Can you explain in more detail what I need to do? By the way, Windows Live Messenger was a snap to setup on my phone; I don't understand why setting up the email account has been difficult.
Thanks,
Rene
you do not need to hook up to your pc to set up an email account, you should be able to use outlook for Incredimail account, just enter the email address and password you have for that email address. outlook isn't actually an email domain or whatever you want to call it...i would say that outlook is just a program that shows you your inbox without going through internet explorer. i'm not 100% about all that i said and im sure that if im wrong someone can correct me but that is the way i see it
*edit* seeing as this is no longer on the diamond interface topic i would recommend creating a new thread for different questions to avoid confusion, thank you
