138 Section 3B: Using the Email Features
Receiving Email Messages
How you receive email messages depends on the type of account you are using and how
you synchronize:
ⅷ Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
®
: New email messages are sent to your Treo when they
appear on the server, according to the schedule you set up, or when you manually initiate
a sync (see “Sharing Information” on page 300).
ⅷ Desktop synchronization software: If you synchronize your Treo with your computer,
messages in Microsoft Outlook on your computer are transferred to your Treo when you
connect your computer and your device (see “Synchronizing With a USB Connection” on
page 50).
ⅷ All other POP or IMAP accounts: These include ISP accounts and accounts you access
using a VPN server connection (typically a work account; see “Connecting to a VPN” on
page 341). Message retrieval depends on the option you chose from the Automatic
Send/Receive list during account setup (see “Setting Up Inbox to Work With Common
Providers” on page 130 or “Setting Up Inbox to Work With Other Providers” on page 132),
as follows:
Ⅲ If you chose a time interval: Your Treo automatically checks for and downloads new
messages according to that interval.
Tip
If you sync email with Microsoft
®
Exchange Server 2003 or 2007, you can
synchronize messages in subfolders you create. In the
Inbox application,
press
Menu (right softkey) and select Tools > Manage Folders. Folders
containing subfolders display a plus sign (+). Select the + to view the
subfolders. Check the box to the left of any subfolder you want to sync.

If you synchronize email with Microsoft
®
Exchange Server 2007, and you
receive a message containing a link to a document on SharePoint or an
internal file server, you can view the document by selecting the link.
