Synchronizing e-mail messages
Use the Outlook E-mail account to send and receive e-mail
messages by synchronizing e-mail messages with Microsoft
Exchange or Microsoft Outlook on your PC.
E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general
synchronization process. You will need to enable Inbox
synchronization in ActiveSync.
During synchronization:
•
Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on
your PC to the
Outlook E-mail
folders on your phone.
•
E-mail messages in
Outlook E-mail
on your phone are transferred to
Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those programs.
Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server
You can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an
e-mail server. You’ll need to set up a remote connection to a
network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail server.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are
downloaded to the phone’s Inbox folder. Also messages in the
phone’s Outbox folder are sent, and messages that were deleted
on the e-mail server are removed from the phone’s message
folders.
Folder Behavior With a Direct Connection to an E-mail
Server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you
are using POP3 or IMAP4.
•
If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you
created, the link is broken between the messages on the phone and
their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail
server will see that the messages are missing from the phone and
delete them. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a
message, but it also means that you no longer have access to
messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the
phone.
•
If you use IMAP4, the folders you created and the e-mail messages you
moved are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available
to you anytime you connect to your mail server. This synchronization of
folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server; create new
folders or rename/delete folders when connected.
Creating an E-mail Account
You need to create a new account to use for retrieving and
sending e-mail messages.
To make a new account:
1. From the main Messaging screen, select Setup E-mail.
