Getting started Setting up email in K500
Using email
The K500 is a great tool for keeping in touch using email. Use email in your mobile phone to send
messages, pictures and attachments as you would with your computer.
Before you start
Make sure you have your UMTS/GPRS or GSM network operator and/or service provider subscription
information at hand before you start setting up your email. You must have a phone subscription that
supports data transmission.
Email account
To be able to send/receive email messages, you need to set up the email account in your phone. This can
be done in three different ways:
• Automatically by using the Sony Ericsson Phone setup for email (if supported by your operator)
• Automatically by receiving settings from your service provider
• Manually by entering the settings in your phone
We recommend that you set up email in your phone automatically, through your service provider or visit
www.SonyEricsson.com/support and use the Phone setup for email since these are the easiest ways to
quickly get started. This guide describes all three options.
Receive settings using the Phone setup for email
You will find the Phone setup for email at www.SonyEricsson.com/support.
First of all you need the following information from your service provider:
• Email username
• Email password
• Email address
Follow the instructions on the screen. You will receive the Phone setup via SMS. When you receive the text
message, you simply press
Yes to install your new settings.
