No mail messages are transferred to or from the iPhone over the cable. For that sort
of magic, you need MobileMe or Exchange service. (See Chapters 14 and 15.)
It can do that if, that is, your current email program is Mail or Entourage (on
the Mac) or Outlook or Outlook Express (in Windows).
On the iTunes Info tab, scroll down to Mail Accounts. The next step varies by
operating system:
• Windows. Turn on Sync selected mail accounts from:, and, from the
shortcut menu, choose Outlook or Outlook Express.
• Macintosh. Turn on Sync selected Mail accounts.
Finally, if your email program collects messages from multiple accounts, turn
on the checkboxes of the accounts you want to see on your iPhone. Click
Apply to start syncing.
This business of transferring email settings doesn’t always go smoothly, even in
iPhone 2.0. Mac fans have learned, for example, that Mail transfers your settings
more successfully than Entourage. And Windows Vista fans have discovered that
even though Windows Mail is just a renamed, updated version of Outlook Express,
iTunes isn’t especially friendly with it.
The Ringtones Tab
Once you click the Ringtones tab in iTunes, checkboxes await, corresponding
to the ringtones you’ve bought from Apple or made yourself through various
do-it-yourself craft projects (Chapter 10). Be sure to sync over any ringtones
