Please log in for more thread options I can synchronize the outlook e-mail option, however I think this is only
good if you are always synchronizing with your computer. What do you use if
you are going to be away from the comptuer for a week?
I have a 3rd option 'personal mail' that is set up to access my Comcast pop
server, however the option goes away for no reason and I can't set it up
again unless I am at the computer, kinda useless if I am away from my
computer.

>>I am trying to get my e-mail on my phone using the messaging feature of
>>Windows SmartPhone 2003 SE. I have an MPx220 phone.
>> I went to the site http://www.mywindowsmobile.com and selected my phone,
>> my provider, entered my e-mail options, entered my phone number and it
>> text messaged to my phone successfully. It added a new entry called
>> Personal Mail below Text Messaging and Outlook E-Mail.
>> PROBLEMS!
>> 1. I selected that my outgoing server requires authentication, however in
>> the e-mail setup entry that it added, it is not checked.
>> 2. BIG PROBLEM! I turned off my phone and turned it back on. The
>> Personal Mail entry is missing! I would like to use my phone to check
>> my e-mail messages while I am away from my computer on a trip, but if the
>> phone just arbitrarily removes the entry, what's the point? It makes
>> this feature absolutely useless.
>> 3. Then if I try to add an entry into e-mail setup manually on the phone,
>> I can enter my name and e-mail address but the next button is grayed out!
>>
>> By the way, is there an option to specify to store the messages on my
>> memory card instead of the puny on-board memory of the phone?
>>
>> Please Microsoft, Motorolla get this right. Maybe it is time for
>> Microsoft to come out with their own cell phone, maybe then it would work
>> right? Maybe wishful thinking on my part. I think we are all too easy to
>> forgive products that almost do what they say they will do. We put up
>> with too many bugs and features that make the products almost useless to
>> anyone using them on a daily basis.
>>
>> I bought this phone with the idea that since it says Microsoft on the
>> screen that I would expect updates for it, new operating system versions,
>> new media player, etc. just like Windows XP is for a PC. I would be
>> willing to purchase a new version of the operating system like I would
>> purchase one for my computer if it added the features I want and improved
>> the phone. But it sounds like many of the phones you buy are dead end
>> products. Do they expect you to buy a new phone every year so you can
>> get the same features that work maybe a little bit better than the phone
>> you already have?
>>
>> End of rant.... maybe...
