If your Pocket PC OE is compatible with the iaf extensions an easy -and almost a secret - oh well now I've let the cat out of the bag.... way to move accounts is to export them from your main computer as a file.

Click Tools, then Accounts, then highlight the account(s) you wish to copy and click the export button and save. Move this file to any OE equipped computer and click Tools, Accounts then click the import button, navigate to your exported .iaf file and you are in business.

OTherwise a local nerd with sniffing software can pickup your username and password since both are sent in clear text during OE send and receive - which is a good reason why you should have wireless networks using some form of WEP encryption and also why when on the road using broadband, one should check one's email via the web based encrypted interface most ISPs and companies offer. Other choice would be to use your companies VPN if they have.

As The Sailor has advised there are progs for showing the dots - this would be pre-XP as the dots don't actually represent anything in Windows XP.
