That is how it works. The Outlook E-Mail account you see there is for just what you said syncing email form your desktop to the Axim. The reason is because after your desktop downloads the message and it is in your desktop outlook it is no longer on the email server. So you can't download it again with your pop3 account. So if you want to check email via wi-fi (that has not already been downloaded by your desktop) you have to set up a seperate pop3 account. Sounds silly but it works well.

I have mine set up NOT to sync the outlook email account. Because I have no interest in email that my desktop has already gotten for me. When I go out with my Axim. My desktop is shutdown (or outlook closed) so it is not getting my email anymore. Then I use wi-fi and my POP3 account on my Axim to check email. Nice thing here (for me anyway) is the POP3 settings will not delete email form the server (like desktop outlook does). So even if I have checked my email on the Axim. When I get home and start my desktop outlook I get the same emails again. I like this because sometimes the emails I get are too big, have alot of pictures, or maybe some attachments in them and my Axim does not do a great job of showing them.

Hope that helps! Good Luck~
