POP3 issues

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

Hi

Here is how it works...

When you connect with your Pocket pc, it downloads all messages from the
server but do not delete them on the server, you can do this any number of
times, and any new messages not allready downloaded is downloaded. When you
connect with f.x. outlook express or another pop3 client it will normally
delete the messages on the server and this will result in the following. the
next time you connect with your PPC it will remove the messages from pocket
outlook as it is retrieved via a desktop client. The pop3 inbox should more
be taken for a image of what are on the server since last time the desktop
downloaded rather than a inbox storage.

hope that helped...
