Messaging

Use Messaging to send and receive e-mail messages:

•Synchronize e-mail messages using Exchange or Outlook on your computer.

•Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail server through an ISP or a network.

Synchronizing E-Mail Messages

You can synchronize e-mail messages along with the rest of your data if you enable Messaging synchronization in ActiveSync. For information on enabling Messaging synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on your computer.

NOTE: You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your computer from a remote location. For more information, see "Getting Connected" on page 91.

During synchronization:

•Messages are copied from the e-mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your computer to the ActiveSync folder in Messaging on your device. By default, you receive:

–Messages from the past 3 days

–The first 100 lines of each message

–File attachments of less than 100 KB in size

•E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Exchange or Outlook on your computer, and then sent from

those programs.

•E-mail messages in subfolders on your computer must be selected in ActiveSync to be transferred.

Connecting Directly to an E-Mail Server

In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your 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 "Getting Connected" on page 91.
