Inbox
Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in either 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 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 information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the 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 three days only, the first 100 lines of each message, and 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, and then sent from those programs.
•E-mail messages in subfolders 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.
Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server
In 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.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder, messages in the device Outbox folder are sent, and 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.
