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.
