Password-protected files cannot be synchronized.ActiveSync converts documents during synchronization. For information on synchronization or file conversion, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop.Messaging: Sending and Receiving E-mail MessagesYou can receive Internet e-mail messages and SMS messages in Messaging. Internet e-mail messages are sent by using an address you receive from your Internet service provider (ISP) or your employer. SMS messages are sent and received through your wireless phone service provider by using a phone number as the message address.You can send and receive e-mail by synchronizing with your desktop, 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 Microsoft ActiveSync, which is set up by default. The ActiveSync folder on your CN3 Computer stores messages that you send and receive through synchronization with a desktop. Account names appear as folders in the folder list (located on the left, under the nav-igation bar) in the Messaging message list.With synchronization, messages are synchronized between the CN3 Com-puter Inbox and the PC Inbox by using ActiveSync and Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook. For more information, see “Synchroniz-ing E-mail Messages” on the next page.When connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 server, you use a modem to con-nect to your Internet service provider (ISP) or a modem card to connect to the local area network to which your e-mail server is connected. You can also use your phone to connect by using a cellular line connection. For more information, see “Connecting to a Mail Server” on page 58.Synchronizing E-mail MessagesAfter selecting Messaging for synchronization in ActiveSync, e-mail mes-sages are synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. Dur-ing synchronization:Note: When you delete or change an item on either your desktop or the CN3 Computer, the item is changed or deleted in the other location the next time you synchronize.Note: If you synchronize your notes using file synchronization and then later decide to use notes synchronization, all of your notes are synchronized with Outlook on your desktop and no longer store in the My Documents folder for the CN3 Computer.To switch to Messaging on your CN3 Computer, tap Start > Messaging.

Chapter 2 — Windows MobileCN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manual - PRELIMINARY 57• Messages are copied from the Inbox folder on your desktop or the Microsoft Exchange server to the Inbox folder on your CN3 Computer. (Note that you can only synchronize information directly with an Exchange Server if your company is running Microsoft Mobile Informa-tion Server 2002 or later.) By default, you receive messages from the last three days only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attach-ments of less than 100 KB in size.• Messages in the Outbox folder on your CN3 Computer are transferred to Exchange or Outlook and then sent from those programs.• The messages on the two computers are linked. When you delete a mes-sage on your CN3 Computer, it is deleted from your desktop the next time you synchronize.• Messages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are synchro-nized only if they were selected for synchronization in ActiveSync.For information on initiating Messaging synchronization or changing syn-chronization settings, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop or tap Start > Help, then select a topic.Managing E-mail Messages and FoldersEach e-mail account and SMS account has its own folder hierarchy with five default folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, and Sent Items. The messages you receive and send through the mail account are stored in these folders. You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that were deleted on the CN3 Computer. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends on the Inbox options you have chosen.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 automatically synchronize with your CN3 Computer. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the messages you move are then 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 synchroniza-tion, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the mes-sages into that folder. You can then read messages while away from your desktop.•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 CN3 Computer and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server sees that the messages are missing from the CN3 Computer Inbox and deletes them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you no longer have access to

Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile58 PRELIMINARY - CN3 Mobile Computer User’s Manualmessages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the CN3 Computer.•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 CN3 Computer or desktop. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected.For all accounts except ActiveSync, you can access folder options by tap-ping Menu > To o l s > Manage Folders.Connecting to a Mail ServerIn addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop, you can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a modem or network card connected to your CN3 Computer. 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 “Remote Access (Modems)” on page 118.When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the CN3 Computer Inbox folder, messages in the CN3 Computer Outbox folder are sent, and messages that were deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the CN3 Computer Inbox folder.Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server rather than your desktop. When you delete a message on your CN3 Computer, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect based on the settings 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 CN3 Computer.When working offline, once you have 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 have marked for retrieval and sends the messages you have composed.Setting Up or Changing an AccountTo set up a a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail account, tap Menu > To o l s > Options > New Account.
