Hi,
I want to transfer all my emails from outlook (on my PC) to my pocket pc. I want that my new emails are automatically transfered to my inbox on my ppc when I synchronize. I need that to consult my old emails when I'm off-line and not at home. I can synchronize my calendar, my notes and my contacts but not my email.
Does anyone could help me? Thanks.
Configuration:
PPC2002, Asus A620, ActiveSync 3.7.1, Outlook XP, WIndows XP.

Click options on your desktop Activesync and check the box for inbox.

Thank you for your answer, but i already tried by checking the box for inbox in ActiveSync. It doesn't work. I tried all the other possibilities in Active Sync, but they are few. If you have an other suggestion, I would be glad to hear it.

you need to change the amount it synchronises, by default this is last 5 emails iirc. Goto tools > options hit inbox then settings, and you can select how much of your mail to sync

can you sync Outlook subfolders? or only the root directory?

In Tools>Options>Inbox >Settings, I can only change "Number of lines" and "Messages of the last n days". I can't set anything else. Furthermore, I can sync Calendar, Contact etc, but not Inbox. I don't understand why.
Thank for your help.

I found the answer to my problem. It seems that it's difficult to sync Inbox when using Imap in Outlook. I change to a simple POP account, and now my emails are sync.
Nevertheless, thank you for your help.

are there similar options for syncing other subfolders in Outlook like the Contacts, Tasks, etc?
