Inbox
Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages by doing either of the following:
• Synchronise e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook
on your computer.
• Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail server
through an Internet service provider (ISP) or a network.
Opening the Inbox
• Press the Inbox Quick button on the front panel of your handheld.
Inbox will open to the Inbox’ folder navigator.
Synchronising email messages
Email messages can be synchronised as part of the general synchronisation process.
You will need to enable Inbox synchronisation in ActiveSync.
For information on enabling Inbox synchronisation, see ActiveSync Help on your
computer.
During synchronisation:
• Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your
computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your handheld. By default, you
will receive messages from the past three 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 your handheld are transferred to
Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those programs.
• Email messages in subfolders must be selected in ActiveSync on your
computer in order to be transferred.
TIP: You can also synchronise email messages with your computer from a remote location.
For more information, see the ActiveSync Help menu in your computer.
Connecting directly to an email server
In addition to synchronising email messages with your computer, you can send and
receive email messages by connecting to an email server using a modem or a network
card connected to your handheld. You'll need to set up a remote connection to a
network or an ISP, and a connection to your email server. For more information, refer
to "9 Getting connected" on page 89.
When you connect to the email server, new messages are downloaded to your
handheld’s Inbox folder, messages in the handheld’s Outbox folder are sent, and
messages that have been deleted on the email server are removed from the
handheld’s Inbox folder.
Messages that you receive directly from an email server are linked to your email server
rather than your computer. When you delete a message on your handheld, it is also
deleted from the email server the next time you connect based on the settings you
selected in ActiveSync.
