Default eMail won't appear on mobile unless attached to PC & Outlook

Outlook is not an email account, the email account is from whoever supplies
that mail to Outlook

That chain of action only works with the other eMail accounts I set up on
the
mobile, it doesn't work for the Outlook eMail account, which ends at a
page
regarding how many days past to download, the message format and size
limit.

If you are using Windows Mobile 6.1;
Select Messaging, the mail account you originally set up should be shown
there.
Select / highlight that mail account, then MenuOptions......... then tap
on
the specific account to change the settings

I understand that, along with understanding that I screwed it up the
first
go-round. I use Outlook and Windows everything, everywhere. I'm trying
(now)
to get back into the Outlook Mobile setup on my mobile phone (with
Windows
6.1, etc) and make the appropriate adjustments. How do I get back into
the
setup for that eMail account (in Outlook mobile so I can adjust the
incoming
and outgoing servers and account name and password, much as I can do on
the
desktop Outlook.

Or should I just delete the Outlook Mobile eMail account and start
over,
which, I've indicated, kinda makes me nervous, I don't know why.

Is what I wonder now. (Help!)

Afraid how you set up / edit the settings is down to your mobile, or
the
software it uses

I believe I've sort out that when I set up Outlook on my mobile, I
screwed
up
the settings. Again, the desktop Outlook collects my eMail fine. So
I
created
a new eMail account on the mobile -- this time with the correct
settings --
and I am able to receive my business eMail (which also continues,
correctly,
to appear in my desktop Outlook).

So here's a follow-up: Now I know the correct settings. Is there a
way
into
the Outlook Mobile that's already on my phone so I can make an
adjustment?
If
there is, I can't find it. Or should I just delete the Outlook
Mobile
mailbox
and start anew (nervous about that)? Or should I just ignore the
Outlook
Mobile eMail folder and keep the newly set up folder, but that
doesn't
really
have the Outlook options for collecting my RSS feeds, etc. Plus, it
would
always give me a cramp, having that extra folder and I like seeing
an
Outlook
icon that represents the folder with messages also in my desktop.

A step-by-step here would really be helpful.

Again, I really appreciate this venue for sorting through these
issues
(of
my own incompetence). Thank you!

From my cell I can text. Generic eMail from a common, free provider
appears
as if by magic. But my business eMail (which is linked to the
common,
free
provider) and which moves promptly from the 'net to Outlook 2007
without
problem, won't appear on the phone without being physically
connected
to
the
PC. Which isn't handy. Everything else with Outlook synched
beautifully
to
the mobile -- my contacts (customized for category, with photos,
etc),
appointments, holidays, birthdays, etc. using the Sync Center.

But the mail won't appear. I'm not a big business with some big
business
server and I don't need to share Outlook info with others. I just
want
my
eMail to arrive and so far, it doesn't. Is there something I'm
missing? I
get
a bad feeling that I'm supposed to pay extra per month for some
additional
vendor's software to push my eMail from one place to another. Is
that
accurate?

Thoughts? Any help is appreciated. -- Regards
