Setting up POP Email Accounts on Your iPhone
You can use iTunes® to synchronize email accounts to your iPhone® that you have set up in Mail and Microsoft Entourage on a Mac or Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express on a PC.
You can set up and make changes to an email account directly on your iPhone. Your email service provider can give you the account settings you need to enter. However, changes you make on your iPhone to an email account that you synchronized from your computer are not copied to your computer.
NOTE: Synchronizing an email account to your iPhone copies your email account settings, but does not copy your email messages. Whether the messages in your Inbox display on both your iPhone and your computer depends on the type of email account you have and how it is configured.
