line.
ꢀ For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the
Tools menu.
ꢀ Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words
so that the Pocket PC can easily tell where words begin and end.
ꢀ Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as
accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.
ꢀ If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an
“8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will
not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.

information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for
specific information types.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
ꢀ Back up and restore your Pocket PC data.
ꢀ Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your Pocket PC 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.
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your desktop
computer from the Pocket PC Companion CD. For more information on

Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages

ꢀ 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 Messages
E-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
Pocket PC. 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.

Microsoft Pocket Outlook
ꢀ E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC 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.
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 Server
In 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 using a modem or your wireless phone connected to
your Pocket PC. 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.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to
the Pocket PC Inbox folder, messages in the Pocket PC Outbox folder are
sent, and messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are
removed from the Pocket PC 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 Pocket PC, 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 Pocket PC.
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.

Managing E-mail Messages and Folders
By 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 Pocket PC. 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
server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
ActiveSync, POP3, or IMAP4:
ꢀ If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook
will automatically be synchronized with your Pocket PC. 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 POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you
created, the link is broken between the messages on the Pocket PC
and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the
mail server will see that the messages are missing from the Pocket PC
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 Pocket PC.
ꢀ 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
Pocket PC or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders
occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders,
or rename/delete folders when connected.
