Introduction
Microsoft® Pocket Outlook includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Inbox, and
Notes. You can use these programs individually or together. For example,
e-mail address stored in Contacts can be used to address e-mail
messages in Inbox.
Using ActiveSync®, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook
or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop computer with your device. You
can also synchronize this information directly with a Microsoft Exchange
server. Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the changes you
mode on your device and desktop computer or server and updates both
computers with the latest information. For information on using ActiveSync,
see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.
You can switch to any of the Pocket Outlook programs by tapping

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 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 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
4-12
You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your desktop
computer from a remote location. For more information, see
Chapter 7.
Chapter 4
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 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 Chapter 7.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to
the device Inbox folder, messages in the device Outbox folders 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.
You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and
respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are
sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space in your device.
When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers
or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and decide
which messages to download completely. The next time you connect,
Inbox downloads the complete messages you have marked for retrieval
and sends the messages you have composed.

When you connect to your e-mail server or synchronize with your desktop
computer, by default, you will receive messages from the last five days
only, the first 100 lines of each new messages, and file attachments of less
than 100KB in size. The original messages remain on the e-mail server or
your desktop computer.
You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in full during your
next synchronization or e-mail server connection. In the message list, tap
and hold the message that you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap
Mark for Download. The icons in the Inbox message list give you visual
indications of message status.
You can specify your downloading preferences when you set up the
service or select your synchronization options. You can change them at
any time.

Chapter 4
Managing e-mail messages and folders
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.
•
•
•
•
If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will
automatically be sunchronized with your device. You can select to
synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The
folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on
the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder
to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family for
synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and
copies the messages into that folder. You can then read messages while
away from your desktop computer.
If you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.
If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created,
the link is broken between the messages on the device and their copies
on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see
that the messages are missing from the device Inbox and delete them
from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a
message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to
messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the
device.
If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you
move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to
you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your
device or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs
whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or
rename/delete folders when connected.

Introducing Bluetooth®
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices
with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of
about 10 meters (30 feet) without requiring a physical connection.
Unlike infrared, you don’t need to line up the devices to beam information
with Bluetooth. The devices only need to be within a range of about 10
meters. You can even beam information to a device in a different room, as
long as it is within the specififed range.
Bluetooth® for Windows® CE (BTW-CE)
BTW-CE is the solution to smoothly integrate the Bluetooth technology into
devices that use the Pocket PC operating system.
The Bluetooth technology allows your Pocket PC to:
•
•
•
•
•
Locate other Bluetooth devices within the vicinity
Discover the services that those devices offer
Connect to, use, and disconnect from those services
Enable or disable individual services
Use security features including authentication, authorization, and
encryption
