Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages
To switch to Inbox on your 700 Color Computer, tap Start > Inbox.
You can receive Internet e-mail messages and SMS messages in Inbox. In-
ternet e-mail messages are sent by using an address you receive from your
Internet service provider (ISP) or your employer. SMS messages are sent
and received through your wireless phone service provider by using a
phone number as the message address.
You can send and receive e-mail by synchronizing with your desktop, or
by connecting to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) or Internet Message Ac-
cess Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server. You need to set up an e-mail account
for each method that you use except for Microsoft ActiveSync, which is set
up by default. The ActiveSync folder on your 700 Color Computer stores
messages that you send and receive through synchronization with a desk-
top. Account names appear as folders in the folder list (located on the left,
under the navigation bar) in the Inbox message list.
With synchronization, messages are synchronized between the device In-
box and the PC Inbox by using ActiveSync and Microsoft Exchange or
Microsoft Outlook. For more information, see “Synchronizing E-mail Mes-
sages” below.
When connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 server, you use a modem to con-
nect to your Internet service provider (ISP), or a modem or Ethernet card
to connect to the local area network to which your e-mail server is connec-
ted. You can also use your phone to connect by using a cellular line con-
nection. For more information, see “Connecting to a Mail Server” on page
79.
Synchronizing E-mail Messages
After selecting Inbox for synchronization in ActiveSync, e-mail messages
are synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. During
synchronization:
S Messages are copied from the Inbox folder on your desktop or the
Microsoft Exchange server to the Inbox folder on your 700 Color Com-
puter. (Note that you can only synchronize information directly with an
Exchange Server if your company is running Microsoft Mobile Infor-
mation Server 2002 or later.) By default, you receive messages from the
last three days only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file at-
tachments of less than 100 KB in size.
S Messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Ex-
change or Outlook and then sent from those programs.
S The messages on the two computers are linked. When you delete a mes-
sage on your 700 Color Computer, it is deleted from your desktop the
next time you synchronize.
S Messages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are synchro-
nized only if they were selected for synchronization in ActiveSync.
For information on initiating Inbox synchronization or changing synchro-
nization settings, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop or select Start >
Help > Connections to see Connections Help.
