if you have email on your pc then its a simple matter of transferring the same settings to the phone, with the exception of the outgoing mail server (SMTP) which must (usually) be one provided by your mobile phone operator.
unfortunately though, the t68i cannot do anything with received attachments. the only way to get pictures and ringtones to the phone is via bluetooth, ir, cable all from a pc, or via MMS

unfortunately you have to transfer them manually but most of the items are similarly names (incoming server, outgoing server, email address, username, password etc etc)

outlook and outlook express support the http email protocol which is what hotmail uses. unfortunately most (prob all) phones don't support this
