Synchronizing E-mail Messages
E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization
process. To do this, you need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync.
For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the
desktop computer.
During synchronization, the following occurs:
z
Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your
desktop computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your Pocket PC.
z
Email messages in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC are transferred to
Exchange or Outlook and then sent from those programs.
z
The messages on the two computers are linked. When you delete a message
on your Pocket PC, it is deleted from your desktop computer the next time
you synchronize.
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.
