A little follow up. Telling the mail server to retain sent mail is actually an option in Outlook. It works fine. Even if I read my mail in outlook before making the internet connection on my Axim, the server does retain them and they load up on the PDA as well.

This is a potential problem in that ATT only allows 10 MB of storage. To compensate for that, I opted in Outlook to tell the server to delete my messages on the server when I delete them locally. I'll just have to be disciplined enough to clear out the Deleted Folder regularly.

Using Save As for the downloaded attachments works fine and allows you to store them on the SD Card and they open up just fine.

Whew. This work around stuff should not be necessary. Hopefully the next version of ActiveSync will address these issues.
