Dolphin® 9500/9550 Mobile Computer User’s Guide 7 - 13InboxUse 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 MessagesE-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 ServerIn 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.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 on your device.When working offline, once you’ve downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete messages you’ve marked for retrieval and sends the messages you’ve composed.

Dolphin® 9500/9550 Mobile Computer User’s Guide 7 - 17Managing E-mail Messages and FoldersBy default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service you have created: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox, and Sent Items. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the device. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends on the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap Tools and then Options. On the Message tab, select your options.If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools, and then Manage Folders to create new folders. To move a message to another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message and then tap Move to on the pop-up menu.Folder behavior with a direct connection to an e-mail serverThe 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 synchronized 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 the 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.

Dolphin® 9500/9550 Mobile Computer User’s Guide 8 - 18Synchronizing Your Dolphin 9500/9550 TerminalOverviewUsing Microsoft ActiveSync version 3.7 or higher, you can synchronize information on your desktop computer with your device and vice versa. Synchronization compares the data on your Dolphin mobile computer with your desktop computer and updates both with the most recent data. For example, you can:• Update the information in Pocket Outlook on your device by synchronizing it with Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer. • Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your device and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.CapabilitiesWith ActiveSync, you can also:• Back up and restore your device data. • Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop computer.• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to your desktop computer or only when you choose the synchronize command.• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.\Note:By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use ActiveSync Options to specify the types of information you want to synchronize. The synchronization process makes the data (in the information types you select) identical on both your desktop computer and your device.RequirementsTo synchronize, ActiveSync version 3.7 or higher must be on both your desktop computer and your device. ActiveSync 3.7 is already installed on your device. Therefore, you must install ActiveSync 3.7 on your desktop computer from the Pocket PC Companion CD. To install ActiveSync on your desktop computer, insert the Pocket PC Companion CD into the CD-ROM drive of your desktop computer. Click the yellow arrow, click Start Here, then follow the directions on your screen.
