Connecting 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.
Note:
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, tap
Services
, and then
