Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages
Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in either of these ways:
1. Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Outlook on your computer.
2. 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. First, 
enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync options. For information on enabling Inbox 
synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the computer. During synchronization:
• E-mail messages are copied from the Inbox folder of Exchange or Outlook on your 
computer to the Inbox folder on your iPAQ H3000. The e-mail messages on the two 
computers are linked, so when you delete an e-mail message on your iPAQ H3000, it’s 
also deleted from your computer the next time you synchronize.
• E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your iPAQ H3000 are transferred to 
Exchange or Outlook, then sent from those programs.
NOTE:You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your computer from a remote location.
For more information, seeChapter 7 (Getting Connected)
.
Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server
In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your computer, you can send and 
receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using an optional modem or 
network card connected to your iPAQ H3000. You’ll 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 (Getting Connected)
.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the iPAQ H3000 
Inbox folder, messages in the iPAQ H3000 Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have 
been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the iPAQ H3000 Inbox.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server 
rather than your computer. When you delete a message on your iPAQ H3000, it’s also 
deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect.
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 iPAQ H3000.
When working offline, once you’ve downloaded new message headers or partial mes-
sages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server 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.
