8.1 E-Mail and Text Messages

You can receive E-mail and text messages in Messaging. E-mail messages are sent by using an address you receive from your Internet service provider (ISP), an E-mail service provider, or your employer. Text messages are sent and received through your phone service provider by using a phone number as the message address.

You can also send and receive E-mail by synchronizing with your PC, or by connecting to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server. You need to set up an E-mail account for each method that you use except for an Outlook E-mail account, which is set up by default. The Outlook E-mail account on your Pocket PC Phone is used to store messages that you send and receive through synchronization with a PC. Account names appear when you open the folder list, which is located on the left, under the navigation bar, in the message list view.

How you download copies of messages depends on how you are receiving messages:

nIf you receive E-mail messages through a remote E-mail server, follow the instruction as described on the next page, under "Downloading messages from a server."

nIf you receive E-mail messages through ActiveSync, begin synchronization. For more information, please refer to Chapter 4.

nText messages are automatically received when your phone is turned on. Otherwise, messages are held by your service provider until the next time your phone is turned on.

With synchronization, messages are synchronized between the Pocket PC Phone Inbox folder for the Outlook E-mail account and the PC Inbox by using ActiveSync and Microsoft Exchange or Outlook. For more information, see Chapter 4.
