For example, I would like to store all emails on my desktop that I send from my desktop or WM5 phone. If I send and recieve emails from my phone for a few days is there a way of getting these onto my desktop? (by syncing maybe) Any help appreciated.

Pocket Outlook simply does NOT work behind a proxy. There's no good excuse for it :-( ? FlexMail does look to me as a much better email client. I've tested it, and it works. Can you understand it? I Simply can't. Let’s be clear about it.

If it is POP3 it shouldn't happen (though I've heard/read similar reports that I can't duplicate). If it is IMAP4, I can see where that might happen. The workaround for you is not to delete mail on your device until you find a solution. Bruce: You don’t say whether you are using POP3 or IMAP4.

I'm really angry about this, since I've lost e-mail messages just because I don't want them on my TyTN. The TyTN doesn't even give an option to delete on server right away, clearly they treat the device as a copy not a primary e-mail reader, so why does it delete on server when emptying the trash? AND WHY ISN'T THERE A WAY TO TURN THIS FEATURE OFF? If anyone knows anything to do about this, PLEASE reply here and/or comment on my blog at http://pdaphone-fan.blogspot.com/ This really kills the TyTN's usefulness for e-mail reading.

I'm not sure what the issue is, truthfully. It works fine with desktop POP3 mail clients like Thunderbird. And, Palm OS users do not seem to have an issue with it. In my case, the same Gmail settings on a Axim X50v (Windows Mobile 2003 2nd Editions) works once in a while but usually does not.

Not something most non-corporate users can really consider for the most part. (Although a few providers in the UK offer basic Blackberry service for a fairly low fee, so you don't necessarily have to run your own Blackberry server.) In my head, I consider MS' Pocket Outlook to be basically the same as those, since I'm used to treating Exchange support as an add-on. (I normally deal with S60 handsets and only recently purchased by first Windows Mobile device.) Obviously, I do recognise that this is just in my head. :o) Not knowing what ‘Good’ is, I just assumed it was another corporate push-email solution like Blackberry Connect or Intellisync.

And, I sort of implied it (maybe not well I guess) in mentioning Good as a popular add-on email client that people (or enterprises in their case) find a better alternative to Microsoft's Inbox/Messaging.

The first piece of software I installed when I bought a Windows Mobile 5 handset was FlexMail, so that I could have a decent amount of control over my massive (~1GB of email) IMAP account. I never even tried the built-in client because I knew it wouldn't work how I wanted it to (from reading up before I bought the device). The downside is that it's something else to install and take up space and memory, and the integration isn't always as good.
