Connect Directly to an E-mail Server
You can set up a connection to an e-mail server so that you can send and receive e-mail messages
by using a modem or network connection and Inbox on your Pocket PC Terminal.
The ISP or network must use a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail server and an SMTP gateway.
Inbox does not currently support connecting with proprietary e-mail protocols, such as
AOL and MSN
™
. However, you can still access the Internet through these services. There
may be third-party programs available that would enable you to send and receive e-mail
messages through proprietary protocols.
You can use multiple e-mail services to receive your messages. For each e-mail service you intend
to use, first set up and name the e-mail service. If you use the same service to connect to different
mailboxes, set up and name each mailbox connection.
To set up a e-mail service
1. In Inbox on your Pocket PC Terminal, tap Services, and then New Service.
2. Select POP3 or IMAP4 as the service type, name the service, and tap Next. For information on
which service type to select, ask your ISP or network administrator.
3. If you have created a connection you want to use, select it from the Connection list. If you
have not, select Create new connection and follow the steps in the wizard. When you return
to this screen at the end of the wizard, select the connection you created from the Connection
list.
A wizard will walk you through the remaining steps. For an explanation of a screen, tap
and
then Help. When finished, tap Services and then Connect to connect to your e-mail server. For
more information on using the Inbox program, see “Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail
Messages” in Chapter 4.
