I just setup my new X51v and though it syncs fine with outlook 2003 (my account is pop3) I would like to be able to send and receive email when I get a wifi connection, but the send and receive button is greyed out. How do I fix this?

Have you set up your account manually already?

You need to set up your email account....Start>Programs>Messaging>Accounts>New Account

Page 1/4 ~ E-mail Address- Enterer your email address

Page 2/4 ~ User information
The "your name" part is what ever you want. It has no bearing on the settings.
User name is the part of your email before the @ sign (ie USERNAME@.com)
Password is your email password
Check the box for Save Password

Page 3/4 ~ Account information
Account type is POP3
Account Name is what ever you want it to be.

Page 4/4 ~ Server information
This is where it can be a little different for some people. 99% of the time it is MAIL..COM, From looking at the Comcast site it appears they use MAIL.COMCAST.NET for the incomming and SMTP.COMCAST.NET for the out going. You can try these. But this is one of the areas you might have to tinker with. For example changing both to MAIL.COMCAST.NET

The domain you can just leave blank.

Options.....
Options page 1/3-I would not check this box for checking for messages every X# of minutes. If you are not online you will get an error message every X# of minutes.

Options Page 2/3- Here I checked the box for "Outgoing mail requiers authentication" as well as "Use separate settings"

Outgoing server settings-For username here I had to use my entire email address. This was very different then the rest of the set up. Enter your password
Leave the domain blank Check the box for save password Check the box for "Require SSL for outgoing mail" Click OK in the upper right corner

Options page 3/3-In order to save space I would select "Get message headers only" Check the box marked include and select 2K

Finish....


Hope this helps

Thanks for the help Susan! I was looking for a way to send and receive in the Outlook account, without having duplicate messages on the pda but I found that is impossible. Your detalied instructions did help me get the pop3 account setup. Again, thanks.:approve:

Glad to be able to help!

You can make changes to settings to not save messages on your pda.
You can also adjust the sync settings for email in active sync :)
