Inbox and Bluetooth

[puihang]

Hello, I'm wondering whether anyone here is able to help me with my email problem :) I have a 3970 iPaq running PPC 2002 and a Nokia 6230. What I would like to do is to be able to read, send and receive email via bluetooth using my ipaq and mobile phone.

The 6230 has been set up to be my default bluetooth dial-up modem and I have configured my inbox with my mailbox settings. On the iPaq, I select the email account that I want to collect my emails from, click connect and I get a message that says "connecting...." and then "logging on..." and then "receiving headers". It then sits there for ages and then finally shows me my inbox but there are no items in there. The iPaq is set to retrieve mail from the past 2 days and I know for a fact that I have mail because I can see them when I log onto my account on the PC.

Does anyone have any ideas? I've set the ipaq to "Get full copy of messages" but still no joy :(

Are you able to access web sites over a bluetooth connection at decent speeds? If so, then I think I have had the same problem you're currently experiencing. To fix the problem, I had to hard reset and add in the accounts again.

Let me know if that fixes your problem.

Yes, I forgot to mention that. I can browse at decent speed using bluetooth. Something else I forgot to mention :oops: is that I had this working fine when I had a nokia 8910i - it just doesn't seem to want to play ball with my nokia 6230.

I've just had another play and noticed that I had an "Activesync" folder in my inbox. When I click on this, I get an exact replica of whichever email account I was wanting to access and guess what? All the emails have been downloaded there :?

I've considered backing up my ipaq and doing a hard reset but when I restore everything, won't I restore the problem?

Yes. :( But you can try hard-resetting to see if the problem is a Pocket PC-related configuration issue before you do the restore...

In any case, the "Activesync" folder should only be email that's synced to your Pocket PC through Outlook. Your POP3/IMAP provider should have its own folder hierarchy. I've never heard of the Pocket PC being confused about them, but I guess there could be a mix-up somewhere. :|
