Connecting to a Mail Server
You can send and receive e-mail by connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 server. Inbox contains an e-mail
service for each method you use. For either service, you must establish a connection to your Internet
service provider (ISP) or to the appropriate mail server in your local area network. In addition to
creating this connection, you must also create the e-mail service.
Prior to setting up a service, you should obtain the following information from your ISP or network
administrator: POP3 or IMAP4 server name, SMTP host name, user name, password and domain name
(for network connections only).
Notes: Windows CE .Net does not support other mail protocols such as AOL or services that use special
authentication, such as MSN. However, you can gain access to the Internet through these services. If you
use the same service to connect to different mailboxes, set up and name a different service for each
connection.
For additional information about the inbox, refer to Windows CE .NET online help.
To connect to your POP3 or IMAP4 mail server:
1.
Open Inbox. Select the
Services
menu and choose
Options
. The Options dialog box opens.
2.
Select the
Services
tab and tap
Add
. The Service Name dialog box opens.
