Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server

You can send and receive email messages by connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4
e-mail server if you can connect to your ISP or local area network. (For
information on connection, see Section 6.1.)

Setting up an Email Service

You can use multiple email services to receive your messages. For each email
service you intend to use, first set up and name the email service. If you use the
same service to connect to different mailboxes, set up and name each mailbox
connection.

In Messaging, tap

Menu

Tools

New Account

. Follow the directions in the

New Service Wizard. For an explanation of a screen, tap at the upper right

corner of the screen.

When you connect to the email server, new messages are downloaded to the
Inbox folder on your Pocket PC, messages in the Pocket PC Outbox folder are
sent messages that have been deleted on the email server are removed from the
Inbox folder on your Pocket PC.

Messages that you receive directly from an email server are linked to your email
server rather than your desktop computer. When you delete a message on your
Pocket PC, it is also deleted from the email 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 email server. Messages are sent as soon as you
tap

Send

, which saves space on your Pocket PC.

When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or
partial messages, you can disconnect from the email 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 first in the list.
