Inbox; Synchronizing E-Mail Messages; Connecting Directly To An E-Mail Server - Symbol MC9000-G Product Reference Manual

Inbox

Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in the following ways:
• Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Outlook on the 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, refer to ActiveSync Help on the host computer.
During synchronization:
• E-mail messages are copied from the Inbox folder of Exchange or Outlook on the host
computer to the ActiveSync folder on the mobile computer. By default, messages are
received 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 the mobile computer are transferred to Exchange
or Outlook, then sent from those programs.
• E-mail messages in subfolders must be selected in ActiveSync on the host computer to be
transferred.

Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server

A connection can be set up to an e-mail server to send and receive e-mail messages using a network
connection and Inbox on the mobile computer.
The ISP or network must use a POP3 e-mail server and an SMTP gateway.
When connecting to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the mobile computer Inbox
folder, messages in the mobile computer Outbox folder are sent, and messages that were deleted on
the e-mail server are removed from the mobile computer Inbox.
Messages received directly from an e-mail server are linked to the e-mail server rather than the host
computer. When a message is deleted on the mobile computer, it is also deleted from the e-mail
server.
