Synchronizing E-mail Messages
E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. You will need to enable Inbox
synchronization in ActiveSync. For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop PC.
During synchronization:
•
Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your desktop PC to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on
your Pocket PC Phone. By default you will receive messages from the past five days only, and only the first 100 lines of each
message.
•
E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC Phone are transferred to Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from
those programs.
•
E-mail messages in folders must be selected in ActiveSync on your desktop PC in order to be transferred.
Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server
In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop PC, you can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to
an e-mail server using a modem or network card connected to your Pocket PC Phone. You will need to set up a remote connection
to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail server.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the Pocket PC Phone Inbox folder, messages in the
Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the Inbox folder.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server rather than your PC. When you delete a
message on your Pocket PC Phone, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect - based on the settings you
selected in ActiveSync.
You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server.
Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your Pocket PC Phone.
When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail
server and then decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete
messages you have marked for retrieval and sends the messages you have composed.
Using the Message List
•
Messages you receive are displayed in the message list.
By default, the most recently received messages are
displayed in the list first.
