*Warning! The
POP default setting on Pocket Outlook removes email
messages from your UW Email Inbox. That is, your inbox on
Pine, WebPine, or any desktop application configured to
work with UW Email. To configure Pocket Outlook to work
with UW Email, select only IMAP4 for incoming mail
server.
**If you use an
Internet Service Provider (ISP) other than the UW, you
need to use the SMTP (outgoing) server name it provides.
Contact your ISP for this information. For details, read
Using an Outside ISP and About
SMTP.
1.Start Pocket
Outlook. (tap Inbox
in the Start
menu).
2.Tap Accounts, select New Account
3.Enter your email address and tap Next.
4.Autoconfigurator attempts to configure
network access using available options.
If Pocket Outlook is having difficulty with this step, tap
Skip. You will have
an opportunity to configure this later, otherwise tap Next.
5. In the
"User information" window that appears, enter your real name
in the "Your name:" field, your UW netID in the "User name:"
field, your UW password and tap Next.
6. In the Account Information window select
IMAP4 from the drop down menu, enter the name of this
account. We suggest "UW mail" , and tap Next.
7. In the Server Information window for the
Incoming mail enter UWnetID.deskmail.washington.edu, (where
UWnetID is your personal netID) the Outgoing mail enter
smtp.washington.edu**, leave the Domain
field empty and tap the Options button
8. Do NOT
check the box that enables "connect and check for
messages..." option. IMAP4 communication protocol makes the
server "push" the notification to the mail client as soon as
a new message enters the Inbox. Leave the Connection
field with the value that has been automatically set or
choose one if it failed during the detection process. Tap
Next.
9. In the
next window check the first two boxes to enable
authentication for the outgoing e-mail server and encryption
(SSL). It is suggested you leave the last option at a default
3 days or less. Tap Next.
10. Use the default settings in the next
window. Tap Finish.
Congratulations! Your new mail account is configured
11.If you
have an active connection to the Internet, Pocket Outlook
will ask if you want to download folders from the server you
just added. Tap Yes.
If you don't have an active connection, you can download
mail later by choosing the Send/Receive icon at the bottom of
the screen. (It appears as two envelopes with dotted lines).
You should now be able to download your UW email and send
mail. Please consult your Pocket PC documentation on how to
use Pocket Outlook to compose and read mail.
