Setting up email

Once you have installed the wireless networking card and drivers, you can use your iPAQ to send and receive email. All iPAQs come with a program called Inbox, which you can configure to access your UMD email account.

The instructions below detail configuration settings for the two operating systems used on the iPAQs. The newest version is Pocket PC 2002, and the other version is just Pocket PC.

CSE Students: Your iPAQ will come with the Inbox preconfigured. To use email, you will need to change the username from GUEST to your UMD Internet/Email username as instructed below:
