48Chapter 4Connecting directly to an e-mail serverIn 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 a modem or network card connected to your device. You 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.When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder, messages in the device Outbox folders are sent, MessagingUse Messaging to send and receive e-mail messages in one of these ways:• Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer• Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail server through an Internet service provider (ISP) or a networkSynchronizing e-mail messagesYou can e-mail messages as part of the general synchronization process. You will need to enable mail synchronization in ActiveSync. For more information on enabling mail synchronization, see the ActiveSync online help on your 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 device. By default, you will receive messages from the past five days only and the first 100 lines of each message.• E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Exchange or Outlook, then send from those programs.• E-mail messages in subfolder 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 on connecting your device, see Chapter 7.
Microsoft® Pocket Outlook49and messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the device 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 device, 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 in your device.When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete messages you have marked for retrieval and sends the messages you have composed.When you connect to your e-mail server or synchronize with your desktop computer, by default, you will receive messages from the last three days only, and the mail is less than 0.5KB in size. If the mail size is larger than 0.5KB, you need to download it through hyperlink. The original messages remain on the e-mail server or your desktop computer.You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in full during your next synchronization or e-mail server connection. In the message list, tap and hold the message that you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap Download Message. The icons in the Inbox message list give you visual indications of message status.You can specify your downloading preferences when you set up the service or select your synchronization options. You can change them at any time.• Change options for Inbox synchronization using ActiveSync options.

Enter a subject and compose your message.4. Tap Send.
52Chapter 4Managing e-mail messages and foldersThe behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.• If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will automatically be synchronized with your device. The folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on the server.• If you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.• If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the device and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see that the messages are missing from the device Inbox and delete them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the device.• If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your device or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected.To save composed messages:If you are working offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and will be sent the next time you connect.If you do not wish to send the message immediately, tap ok after composing the message to save it to the Drafts folder.When you are ready to send the message, open the Drafts folder and tap the message. Tap Send to send the message.NOTE To enter preset or frequently used messages, tap Menu > My Text and select your desired message. To create or edit a preset message before adding it to the message body, tap Menu > My Text > Edit My Text Messages, select a message to change or select a blank line at the bottom of the list, then enter your text and tap ok.
