Connect Directly to an E-mail Server
You can set up a connection to an e-mail server so that you can send and receive e-mail messages
by using a modem or network connection and Inbox on your Pocket PC.
The ISP or network must use a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail server and an SMTP gateway.
Inbox does not currently support connecting with proprietary e-mail protocols, such as
AOL and MSN
™. However, you can still access the Internet through these services. There
may be third-party programs available that would enable you to send and receive e-mail
messages through proprietary protocols.
You can use multiple e-mail services to receive your messages. For each e-mail service you intend
to use, first set up and name the e-mail service. If you use the same service to connect to different
mailboxes, set up and name each mailbox connection.
To set up a e-mail service
1. In Inbox on your Pocket PC, tap Services, and then New Service.
2. Select POP3 or IMAP4 as the service type, name the service, and tap Next. For information on
which service type to select, ask your ISP or network administrator.
3. If you have created a connection you want to use, select it from the Connection list. If you
have not, select Create new connection and follow the steps in the wizard. When you return
to this screen at the end of the wizard, select the connection you created from the Connection
list.
A wizard will walk you through the remaining steps. For an explanation of a screen, tap 
 and
then Help. When finished, tap Services and then Connect to connect to your e-mail server. For
more information on using the Inbox program, see “Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail

Appendix A: Character Recognizer
Using Character Recognizer, you can write characters directly on your Pocket PC screen with
your stylus, just as you would on a piece of paper. The characters you write are translated into
typed text. Use Character Recognizer anywhere you want to enter text, for example, to write a
note or to fill in fields in a dialog box.
The default writing mode for Character Recognizer is lowercase (Jot-compatible) mode. In this
mode, you write characters in lowercase. The chart at the end of this appendix contains examples
of how to write characters in lowercase mode. You can also choose to write in uppercase (Graffiti-
compatible) mode. In this mode, you write characters in uppercase. If you prefer to write in
uppercase mode, tap Uppercase Mode in Options on the input method menu. Whether a letter
appears in uppercase or lowercase when it is converted to typed text depends on where in the
input panel you write it, not on the mode you have selected.
The Character Recognizer input panel is divided into three writing areas. Letters written in the left
area (labeled ABC) creates uppercase letters, and letters written in the middle area (labeled abc)
creates lowercase letters. Use the right area (labeled 123) for writing numbers, symbols, special
characters, and punctuation.
The letter you write is converted to typed text that appears on the screen.Tap to show or hide the input panel. Tap to select an input method or change options.
The following chart is a partial display of the characters you can write while in lowercase mode
(the dot on each character is the starting point for writing). Remember that even though you write
a letter in its lowercase form, the case of the text that is displayed depends on where you write the
letter. For example, if you write a lowercase “a” in the ABC area, an uppercase “A” is displayed
on the screen.

Appendix B: Troubleshooting
Reset the Pocket PC and clear memory
To reset the Pocket PC
If your Pocket PC responds slowly, stops responding as expected, or “freezes,” try resetting it. A
reset causes the Pocket PC to restart and re-adjust memory allocation. Unsaved data in open
windows may be lost.
•Use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button for about two seconds.
To clear memory
If you forget your Pocket PC password or want to clear all data from your Pocket PC and return it
to the factory settings, clear memory.
Warning: Clearing memory deletes all data and restores the Pocket PC to its default settings.
Programs installed at the factory remain, while data you have created and programs you have
installed are erased.
1. Turn the Pocket PC on.
2. Press and hold the Power button, and use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button for
about two seconds.
3. If a message appears on the screen, confirm that you want to clear memory.
-or-
Remove the main and backup batteries, wait 5 minutes, and then reinsert them.
Use ActiveSync to keep a backup of your Pocket PC data so that if you need to clear
memory, you can restore the data on your Pocket PC. For more information, see
ActiveSync Help.
Batteries lose power
When batteries are low, you will see a battery icon in the status bar of the Today screen. Replace
or recharge low batteries as soon as possible. When main battery is discharged, your data will be
preserved by the backup battery. If the backup battery is low, you run the risk of losing the data on
your Pocket PC.
You want your Pocket PC battery charge to last as long as possible, especially when you’re on the
road. Under normal conditions, you can get many hours of use from a single set of batteries or
from a full charge. Here are a few tips to help you get the most from them.
Use external power whenever possible
Use the AC adapter to plug your Pocket PC into external power whenever possible, especially
when:
•Establishing a remote connection (some modems use a lot of power).
•Using the backlight feature of your Pocket PC display.
•Connecting to a desktop computer.
•Letting the notification light flash for extended periods.
