Cannot Clear Pocket Outlook

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I am using Windows Mobile 2003 SE.

I originally had my pocket PC to sync with outlook, however I have decieded
that some company emails I don't want hanging around.

I deselected "Inbox" from Activesync, however the emails are still in the
pocket pc messaging application, as well as my folders... How do I clear
this information? the "clear outlook email" option is greyed out.

Thanks!

By soft delete do you mean hard reset, or soft reset? A soft reset is just
hitting the reset button on the back of the machine, right? I tried that,
and it did not clear the information. The only thing I can think of is a
hard reset, and I will lose all my information on my device...
