POP Automation Connect Problem

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

Hi all,

I have a friend who I talked into getting a Dell Axim X30. She wants to use
her pop account and I have gotten her setup. Her settings are to send and
receive every 60 minutes. However, she has a Blue Tooth connection for her
phone set up. Everytime her device goes to wake up to check email (she leaves
her wifi on so it can do this) the device takes too long to find the wifi
signal and the device tries to connect with the bluetooth. However, the
bluetooth is not what she wants to use and it won't connect anyhow because it
is disabled.

Yet, the send and receive then doesn't work because she will go back to her
screen after a couple of house to see the bluetooth sign in password screen
displayed stuck there because the device doesn't wait for wifi to engage
which it does after about 8-10 sec.

Should I tell her to wipe off the Bluetooth connection so it doesn't try to
use it. Or is there some way to tell the device not to try Bluetooth
connection if it can't see wifi connection right away?

Thanks,
Shezageek
