Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server

You can set up a connection to an e-mail server so that you can send and receive e-mail
messages by using a modem or network connection and Inbox on your Pocket PC.

Note:

The ISP or network must use a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail server and an SMTP

gateway.

Inbox does not currently support connecting with proprietary e-mail protocols, such as
AOL and MSN™. However, you can still access the Internet through these services.
There may be third-party programs available that would enable you to send and receive
e-mail messages through proprietary protocols.

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

To set up a e-mail service

1. In Inbox on your Pocket PC, tap Services, and then New Service.

2. Select POP3 or IMAP4 as the service type, name the service, and tap Next. For

information on which service type to select, ask your ISP or network administrator.

3. If you have created a connection you want to use, select it from the Connection list.

If you have not, select Create new connection and follow the steps in the wizard.
When you return to this screen at the end of the wizard, select the connection you
created from the Connection list.

A wizard will walk you through the remaining steps. For an explanation of a screen, tap
Start

and then Help. When finished, tap Services and then Connect to connect to your

e-mail server. For more information on using the Inbox program, see “Using Inbox” in
Chapter 3.

Ending a Connection

If you started the connection from a program, such as Inbox or Pocket Internet Explorer,

disconnect from that program first. Then, tap

and then Today. Tap

or

at the

bottom of the screen and then Disconnect.

To end a network connection, remove the card from your Pocket PC.
