Maybe I should clarify the problem a bit better. I set up outlook 2003 on my desktop PC to work as an exchange server and download all my email. I then syncrhronized the PC and the PDA, and received all my emails from my desktop onto my pda. Everything looked great, except that I couldn't send or receive emails from that email address on my PDA. I can go into the account manager and create a new account from which I can send emails, but then its not linked to the preexisting folders and emails from my original account. How do I set up my existing outlook to work?

The outlook email item in Pocket Outlook is for only syncing emails between the PDA & your desktop Outlook. If you want to actually send and receive emails from the PDA w/o having the PDA connected to the PC, add a new account to Pocket Outlook using the same connection information you used in your desktop Outlook. Pocket Outlook should be able to connect via wifi and do any emailing you need.
