Using the Windows Mobile Operating System 3
To synchronize email, you must enable Inbox synchronization in the Microsoft
ActiveSync technology ( for Windows XP) or the WMDC ( for Windows Vista or
Windows 7). For more information, refer to the ActiveSync Help or the WMDC Help on
the office computer.
During synchronization:
Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on the office
computer to the Messaging folder on the handheld. By default, you will receive
messages from the past 3 days only, the first 100 lines of each message, and file
attachments of less than 100 KB in size.
Email messages in the Outbox folder on the handheld are transferred to
Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those programs.
Email messages in subfolders in other email folders in Outlook are synchronized
only if they were selected for synchronization (using ActiveSync technology or
the WMDC).
To send and receive email for a synchronized Exchange or Outlook account, connect
the handheld to the office computer. Synchronization automatically begins, and the
handheld sends and receives email.
Connecting directly to an email server
In addition to synchronizing email messages with an office computer, you can send
and receive email messages by connecting to an email server.
Before you can send and receive email, you must create an email account in the
Messaging software.
Note – You must set up an Internet connection on the handheld before you can set up and
use your email account. For more information, see Connecting to a Wi-Fi access point,
page 85, Connecting to a Bluetooth-enabled device, page 87, or Connecting to a Bluetooth-
enabled phone for Internet access or real-time corrections (including VRS networks),
page 94.
If you need to connect to different mailboxes, set up and name a different service for
each connection.
Note – The Messaging software supports only the POP3 and IMAP4 protocols for incoming
mail, and SMTP for outgoing mail.
