By default, you'll receive messages from the last three days only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size. ■ Messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Exchange or Outlook and then sent from those programs. ■ The messages on the two computers are linked. When you delete a message on your device, it's deleted from your PC the next time you synchronize. ■ Messages in subfolders or other email folders in Outlook are synchronized only if they have been selected for synchronization in ActiveSync. Using the Message List Messages you receive are displayed in the message list. By default, the most recently received messages are displayed first in the list. To read your messages: 1. Tap Inbox to select the service and folder you want to display. 2. Tap the message to open. Tap and hold on the message to display a pop-up menu of actions. 3. Tapping Received Date allows you to sort the messages by ascending or descending order 4. To connect, send and receive email, tap the Send/Receive icon on the command bar. 5. To connect to a selected account, tap the Account icon on the command bar. Unread messages are displayed in bold. When multiple messages appear, use the scroll arrows on the command bar to view the previous or next message. To respond to a received message: 1. To reply to or forward the selected email, tap the Reply icon on the command bar. 2. Tap OK to return to the message list. To delete a message, tap the Delete E-mail icon on the command bar. 58 Chapter 4: Microsoft Pocket Outlook Composing Messages To compose a new message: 1. In the message list, tap New. 2. In the To field, enter the email address of one or more recipients, separating them with a semicolon, or select a name from the contact list by tapping Address Book. All email addresses entered in the email fields in Contacts appear in the Address Book. Tap to send the message. Tap to show or hide the co header. . Tap to show/hide the recording toolbar. Tap to display the Address Book. Tap to insert common messages. 3. Compose your message. To enter preset or frequently used messages, tap My Text and select a message. 4. Tap Send when you've finished the message. If you are working offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and will be sent the next time you connect. If you are working online, it is sent immediately. Managing Email Messages and Folders Each email 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 have been deleted on the device. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends on the 59 Toshiba Pocket PC e400/e405 User’s Guide Inbox 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 on the pop-up menu. Folder behavior with a direct connection to an email server The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, POP3, or IMAP4. ■ If you use ActiveSync, email messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will automatically be synchronized with your device. 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 computer. ■ If you use POP3 and you move email messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the device and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see that the messages are missing from the device 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 device. ■ If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the email 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 device or computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected. 60 Chapter 5: Companion Programs Chapter 5: Companion Programs The companion programs consist of Microsoft® Pocket Word, and Microsoft® Pocket Excel, MSN Messenger, and Windows Media Player.
