Please help

Hello,
I am new and experiencing dificulty configuring my email with outlook, I have read past threads but none seem to cover the specifics of my dilema.
I use outlook 2003 to access my email, the email address is my own domain, I have outgoing mail SMTP and Incomming POP3.
I can sync my pc ok with outlook (so my emails, contacts, tasks etc are added to my orbit) but it doesnt let me configue my email settings (incoming and outgoing settings etc) under the outlook tab of the orbit, to send or recieve emails.
To make this clearer I when I set the email settings I have the choice to chose either POP3/IMAP4 or Outlook, If I chose outlook then it takes me to a wizard to configure exchange server (which I dont have) So therefore I have to chose POP3/IMAP4 which works but it sets up a different folder to the synced outlook folder.
So as it stands I can send and recieve emails from a pop3 account on the device but not the outlook account unless it is connected to my pc.
I hope this makes sense, however if you need any more clarification please ask.
Please please please help - I have little enough hair as it is but am losing more by the second trying to work out how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Steve

outlook mail == using outlook on your pc to send the mail using what ever type of mail system outlook on your pc is set to use
if you want to mail without being connected to your pc you need to make a pop3/stmp setup on your phone
not all isp's who offer pop3/smtp mail accounts will you access them externaly though with other then webmail

Thanks for the response.
I can set up pop3/imap4 on the device easy and it sends and recieves no problem via the gprs network.
My problem is that if I want to synchronise any emails that have been sent to my device with outlook on my pc (so I have the same inbox on both) it doesnt work?
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks again
Steve

Alternative to outlook.

Hello.
Is there an alternative around for outlook? both desktop and/or pda? that allows sync? (calendar, contacts and email, notes, etc...) i really hate outllook. its slow and lags alot....
if anyone have any ideas?
all the best

If you only want to sync your desktop, take a look at, say, IntelliSync or, to a lesser degree, mNotes.
If with an Exchange server, you can do it too.

But is there any way to use for instance thunderbird?

FinchSync allows you to syncronize Pocket Outlook with Thunderbird. It is said to syncronize contacts, appointments and tasks between Windows Mobile and Thunderbird/Sunbird.
I haven't tested it yet.

Forgot to mention:
http://synchingthunder.sourceforge.net/
It allows one to synchronize Thunderbird installation between different computers. Not exactly what you are looking for, but it may have its uses.
(I failed to get it to work on my system though)

Thank you.
Hi there!
First, thank you all for all your kick awnsers!!
I found another program, payware, that lets you sync pocket pc and thunderbird. its called birdie sync http://www.birdiesync.com/home.html shame it doesnt let you, for now they say, sync email...
talking about e-mail... this is exactly what i cant find!! some sort of way to sync pocket pc and thunderbird email.....any ideas?
Another idiea would be putting thunderbird to sych with an outlook.pst file and the user regular active sync...
All the best,
Joao Oliveira.
.

I'm not sure if there already are applications that synchronize the emails (haven't came across any), but it will probabely come...
I also haven't found software to synchronize an Outlook (on the PC) with a ThunderBird.

I would love to sync my contacts and appointments with GMail, is there anyway possible. I found Goosync for appointments, but nothing for the contacts file (which is what i REALLY want).
Any ideas?

Birdiesync.
Hello All!
Looks like birdiesync is now supporting e-mail sync.
So you can now actually sync windows mobile 5 with Thunderbird. It supports besides mail, calendar (using sunbird/lightning beta) calendar and tasks.
I'm still testing it.. they have a fully functional trial version that works for 30 days. if you like it you can buy it for 24,95dolars.
all the best,
Joao.

send tasks, contacts, appointments and notes by email

hello!
I need your help!
I use pocket breeze and pocket informant If this helps.
I want to send tasks, contacts, appointments and notes by email, since my love has a PPC and I want to share with him some data. Since he s not near me all day, I need to send him by mail. the beam solution is not the way!
In office 2007, laptop computer I can assign someone to do a task, foward an appoitment or contact.
Can I do it with Pocket Informant or with Pocket Breeze? Can I do it with something else?
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks
Deiota

maybe you can use PPC Pim Backup and then backup your contacts, tasks, appointments then send the backup file thru email. Then he can use the same application to restore it to his device.
Just a thought though

Thanks for your reply!
Anyway, that ain't a solution!!
I want to create tasks and apps and contacts, if needed and imediately send it to someone, my hubbie, for instance, so that people can add automatically in his PIM in his PPC.
Do you have any other solution????
Thanks
Deiota

not even sure normal pc outlook support that

the normal pc outlook does it!
assign tasks and invite to appointments etc...
all that!
great feature!
the PPC does it with beam BT, not with e-mail, I think! That's what I wanted to make sure of!
thanks!

Try sending the contact information via vPIM as a text message, but then select his email address.
Not sure about tasks, etc.

[REQ] Looking for a solution to send Icalendar Invitations (*.ics) from within Sense

Hi,...
I´m looking for a solution to send *ics-formatted invitations from within sense-calendar...
Standard-Invitations are only recognized by Outlook-Users... Google-Calendar-users (and other ics - calendars) cant´t use it, they only get a text.
I even thought about a Google-calendar widget or app.
Because when I send an invitation from Google to my mobile, it recognizes it and adds the link to my calendar...
BUT ... I don´t want to synchronize my whole Calendar !!!! only single invitations...
any Idea?

I was thinking about the same problem... I use my Gmail account a lot, but use Outlook to synch at home. And in addition to that we use bloody IBM Notes @ work! =( I'll be following this...
btw: I use 'XTNDConnect PC' to synch my HD2 with lotus notes...

Maybe you can filter your category, and only extract the invitations...

Appointment details (like From, Required, Room etc.) from Lotus Notes not displayed

Hi all,
I have installed Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.1 and synchronized my WM device (currently Energy ROM, 21905.5.0.92 built on 12.6.2010).
Everything seems to be working correctly, but... When I receive an appointment into my calendar from any of my colleagues, I cannot see details of that appointment in WM calendar. But when I create appointment by myself, I can see all details.
Could anybody tell me what is wrong?
Thanks,
Vladino

Well, it seems that this problem is connected only to Sense calendar. When I open MS Office Calendar I can see all details of meetings and appointments.
Weird, huh?
