ppc inbox and hotmail.

[phritosan]

ive been trying since i bought my 4155 to get outlook/pocket outlook to work with my ppc inbox and hotmail. ive tried 3 different programs that are meant to do this, and onemail is the only one that sorta works.

im thinking there must be a way, as everything involved is a microsoft product.

i want to sync my pda, have it automatically send all the emails ive written, and get new emails from the hotmail server. i for the life of me cannot get this to work.

can someone take my hand and walk me through it?


thanks

Who says that just because it's a microsoft product, that it should work? :wink: Actually, it won't! What programs have you used? I've heard that Pocket Hotmail (http://www.frieger.com/photmail/general.html) works.

I think phritosan is asking how to sync Hotmail through ActiveSync. I don't know if that's possible. While in the cradle I tried syncing, using Pocket Hotmail and that also failed even though I had an Internet connection.

Pocket Hotmail has only worked for me through a WiFi or Bluetooth/GPRS connection.

the requirement for wifi connection totally defeats the purpose. id just use ie and -go- to hotmail.

i suppose that it doesnt need to be through outlook or whatnot, but i do want a way to do with through active sync. if i cant get it to do it by itself when syncing, theres no point. if im syncing, i can obviously spend 20 seconds and go to hotmail with mozilla, but i want to be able to fire off a line email to someone during the day and know that when i sync, it will be sent to them same as me logging in on my desktop and doing copy paste from a txt on the ppc to the compose field on the desktop.

i used onemail for a while, and that unreliably checked my inbox, and when i sent a message that way, it sat in some deadend limbo thing burried in outlook settings and options.
