View Full Version : Transfering emails from PC to PDA
I would appreciate any help on how to transfer emails that I have already read on my PC, to my PDA, in order that I may read them again on the PDA whilst away from my PC.
Many thanks,

Hi GMS,
Which PDA and which operating system do you have on your PC?
Oh and do you have the manuals / disks that came with the PDA?
Regards
Memetic.
Memetic,
I have a Dell Axim X5, Pocket PC and all the disks.

Install Outlook Express (http://www.tucows.com/preview/194179.html) and ActiveSync. (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync37.mspx)
ORAC,
I have both already, the trouble is that if I read the email on my PC it will not synch to the PDA. Do you know of any way I may drag and drop it to the PDA?
Cheers, GMS
Do you use Hotmail or have a Pop3 account?
If you have a separate inbox in Outlook then sync should be easy. Open Activesync on your desktop and go to options. Select Inbox and hit Settings. Find your mail inbox and select it. Now it will sync that inbox with your PDA.
If you use Hotmail and your Activesync cannot find it, try Hotmail Popper (http://www.boolean.ca/hotpop/)
Thanks for your help guys. What I was doing wrong was trying to do this with Outlook Express. Once I installed Outlook I was able to transfer them.
Many thanks,
GMS
