Using Inbox
Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in either of these ways:
• Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook on
your desktop 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
E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process.
First, you need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync options. For information
on enabling Inbox synchronization, see the ActiveSync online help on the desktop
computer.
During synchronization:
• E-mail messages are copied from the Inbox folder of Exchange or Outlook on your
desktop computer to the Inbox folder on your Pocket PC. The e-mail messages on
the two computers are linked, so when you delete an e-mail message on your Pocket
PC, it is also deleted from your desktop computer the next time you synchronize.
• E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC are transferred to
Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those programs.
Note: You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your desktop computer from a
remote location. For more information, see Chapter 6, “Getting Connected.”
Connecting Directly to an E-Mail Server
In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop computer, 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. You need to set up a remote connection to a
network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail server. For more information, see
“Connecting Directly to an E-Mail Server” in Chapter 6.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the Pocket PC
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.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail
server rather than your desktop computer. When you delete a message on your Pocket
PC, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect.
