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.

Microsoft ActiveSync

Using Microsoft® ActiveSync®, you can synchronize the information on
your desktop computer with the information on your Pocket PC.
Synchronization compares the data on your Pocket PC with your desktop
computer and updates both computers with the most recent information.
For example:

■ Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your

Pocket PC with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop computer.

■ Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your

Pocket PC and desktop computer. Your files are automatically
converted to the correct format.

By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of
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
installing ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already
installed on your Pocket PC.

Instruction Manual 3-1

Microsoft ActiveSync

After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you

Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages

Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in either of these ways:

■ 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.

Instruction Manual 4-12

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.

the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachments of less than
100 KB in size. The original messages remain on the e-mail server or your
desktop computer.

You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in full during your
next synchronization or
e-mail server connection. In the message list, tap and hold the message
you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap Mark for Download. The
icons in the Inbox message list give you visual indications of message
status.

You specify your downloading preferences when you set up the service or
select your synchronization options. You can change them at any time:

■ Change options for Inbox synchronization using ActiveSync options.

messages, tap My Text and select a message.

4. Ta p 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.

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.
