How to set up an email account on a Windows Phone 7 emulator?

Question

I am developing an application in which I have to send emails using the default email account.

Answer 1

This feature is not available in the WP7 emulator because the emulator is locked by a function. To verify this, you will need the actual device.

Answer 2

In fact, if you have a gmail account, you can follow the instructions below to add an email account to your emulator. It works great!
