Please log in for more thread options The way I get around the PoP issues is to have the Pocket PC NOT delete
messages from the server, and my Outlook client set to leave messages on the
server for one day. I have to do a little more message management, but I
don't have the issue of the PC getting the message and deleting it, before
the PPC gets a crack at it.
You can always just set the PPC to not delete messages, assuming that works,
and not leave Outlook running on the desktop while you are out. When you get
home you fire up Outlook and it retrieves all the mail you have already seen
while out.
