4.5 Messaging: Sending and Receiving E-mail
Messages
You can use Messaging to send and receive email messages in two ways:
By synchronizing email messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft
Outlook on your desktop computer.
By connecting directly to an e-mail server through an ISP (Internet Service
Provider) or a network. This method requires an optional modem or
network card.

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:
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. By
default, you receive messages from the past three days only, the first 100
lines of each message file attachments of less than 100 KB in size.
Email messages in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC are transferred to
Exchange or Outlook and then sent from those programs.
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.
Email messages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are
synchronized only if they have been selected for synchronization in
ActiveSync
NOTE: You can also synchronize email messages with your desktop computer from a
remote location. For more information, see section 5.1.
