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:
!
Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your desktop
computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your MobilePro. By default, you 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.
!
E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your MobilePro are transferred to Exchange or
Outlook, and then sent from those programs.
!
E-mail messages in subfolders must be selected in ActiveSync on your desktop computer in
order to be transferred.
Note
You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your desktop computer from a remote
location. For more information, see Chapter 6.
Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server
In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop computer, you can send and
receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using an optional modem or network
card connected to your MobilePro. 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 6.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the MobilePro Inbox
folder, messages in the MobilePro Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted
on the e-mail server are removed from the MobilePro Inbox folder.
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 MobilePro, it is also deleted
from the e-mail server the next time you connect based on the settings you selected in
ActiveSync.
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 MobilePro.
When working offline, once you’ve downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you
can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide which messages to download completely.
The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete messages you’ve marked for retrieval
and sends the messages you’ve composed.
