Synchronizing E-mail Messages
To synchronize e-mail messages, first enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync options.
For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop
computer.
During synchronization:
E-mail messages are copied from the Inbox folder of Exchange or Outlook 2000 on
your desktop computer to the Inbox folder on your terminal. The e-mail messages
on the two computers are linked, so when you delete an e-mail message on your
terminal, it's also deleted from your desktop computer the next time you
synchronize.
E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your terminal are transferred to Exchange
or Outlook 2000, 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
7, Connections.
Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server
You can also send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a
modem or network card connected to your terminal. You'll 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 Chapter 7, Connections.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the terminal Inbox
folder, messages in the terminal Outbox folder are sent, and messages that were deleted on
the e-mail server are removed from the terminal 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 terminal, it's also
deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect.
You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages
while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves
space on your terminal.
When working offline, once you've downloaded new message headers or partial messages,
you can disconnect from the e-mail server, then decide which messages to download
