Inbox

Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in the following ways:
• Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Outlook on your host
computer.
• Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail server
through an Internet service provider (ISP) or a network.

Synchronizing E-mail Messages

To synchronize e-mail messages, first enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync options.
For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the host
computer.
During synchronization:
• E-mail messages are copied from the Inbox folder of Exchange or Outlook on your
host computer to the ActiveSync folder on your terminal. By default, you receive
messages from the last three days only, the first 100 lines of each message, and
file attachments of less than 100 KB in size.
• E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your terminal are transferred to Exchange
or Outlook, then sent from those programs.
• E-mail messages in subfolders must be selected in ActiveSync on your host
computer to be transferred.

Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server

You can set up a connection to an e-mail server to send and receive e-mail messages using
a network connection and Inbox on your terminal.
Note: The ISP or network must use a POP3 e-mail server and an SMTP
gateway.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the terminal
Inbox folder, messages in the terminal Outbox folder are sent, and messages that were
deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the terminal Inbox.
