Setting up an IMAP account
Why do we make it so hard to set IMAP / POP accounts?????
Here's how you do it :-
PocketPC
- Launch Messaging (Start -> Messaging)
- Menu -> Tools -> New Accounts
- Enter your email address (eg. user@microsoft.com)
- Tap Next
- You can tap Next again to skip auto-config
- Enter your username and password
- Tap Next
- Select Account type (POP or IMAP)
- Set incoming / outgoing mail servers and / or domain. Contact your ISP for this information.
- Tap Finish.
Smartphone
- Launch Messaging (Start -> Messaging)
- Menu -> Tools -> Options
- Select New Account
- Press Action
- Enter name and e-mail
- Tap Next
- You can tap Next again to skip the setup
- Enter username, password and domain, if necessary
- Select server and account type (POP / IMAP)
- Select the network (it is most probably the 'Internet')
- Tap Next
- Enter servers.
- Tap Next
- Select options
- Tap Next
- More options
- Next
- Finish
Due to a bug active sync can only keep one account up to date. So whatever happens to be the active account in Messaging is the only account that stays up-to-date.
