Inbox: Sending and receiving e-mail messages

Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in one of these ways:

•Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange of 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 network

Synchronizing e-mail messages

E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. You will need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync. For more information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.

During synchronization:

•Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Oultook on your desktop computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your device. By default, you will receive messages from the past three days only, the first 100 lines of each message, and file attachments of less than 100KB in size.

•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, see Chapter 7.
