If you don't already have an email account, you can get a free account online at www.yahoo.com, www.google.com, or www.aol.com. To try a free MobileMe trial, go to www.apple.com/mobileme. For information about setting up a Microsoft Exchange account in a corporate environment, see "Setting Up Microsoft Exchange Accounts" on page 172.
