Will the PPC Send/Receive email on multiple accounts?

[encece]

I have two POP accounts set up on my phone. I know (unfortunately) after a soft reset or after my PPC is connected to the computer, I need to manually send/receive to get my accounts syncing every 15 minutes again. But do I need to go thru this process on both accounts individually? And if so, Will my phone only continue to send/receive on the last account I did this with?

I dont know if I'm doing soft resets too often or what. So in short...does anyone have problems automatically sending/receiving on multiple email accounts?

I've investigated this problem quite thoroughly because I had the same problem (multiple POP3 mailboxes I wanted to access on my PDA's via native POP3 ).

The built-in Pocket Inbox (Messaging in WM2003SE), unfortunately, doesn't support automatic mail download from all the POP3 accounts at the same time. You need to manually switch between the accounts to initiate their download.

When cradled, the program only downloads mail for the last used POP3 account.

A solution to this problem is switching to WebIS Mail - it supports downloading mail from all the defined POP3 accounts at once, among other things.

You would think Microsoft would have fixed this by now. And I thought WebIS Mail was just for HTML mail viewing. Going to investigate the app further now. But I hate having to install a replacement app for the inbox when it does everything else just fine for my needs. :evil:

You'll surely like WebIS Mail - it's so much better in every respect. For example, you can make it store all the downloaded POP3 messages on a storage card instead of the main memory and all.

Actually, after trying it...I kinda like it.
But there are no audio notifications of new mail.
There is no today screen plugin integration, not even using pocketbreeze.

Also....On the built in email...I like that the messages stay on the server until I download them from my PC. This is the same on WebIS Mail...but upon the next send/receive...the emails stay on my PPC. On the built in inbox...they get removed. WebIS forums say that their way is the way the POP3 mail is supposed to work and that the MS Inbox does this incorrectly. But I like the MS Inbox method (more like IMAP method) better!

Messaging deletes all mail from the local inbox that isn't available on the server any more, WebIS Mail doesn't.

I prefer the latter, especially if you set up the mail storage area on a memory car. Then, you can have thousands of your past mails on your PDA without performance problems (see http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=36376 on this) - it's pretty similar to what the AS synchronizing of Outlook mail is, but without it two most important drawbacks:

1, it keeps HTML-formatted mails and don't convert them into a textual form

2, AS, as I have emphasized in the just-linked thread, stores the synchronized mail in main memory, which can result in tremendous system-wide performance problems. POP3 mail downloaded by WebIS Mail doesn't need to be stored in main memory.
