(Tested version: WebIS Mail 2.2beta build 363) Also, if you don't plan to use FlexMail but need to access your ActiveSync-synchronized mails on your PDA, you may need to stick with it. Verdict: Messaging certainly beats the competition in scheduled mail fetching on suspended (meaning much less power comsumption) Pocket PC's ("poor man's Push Mail"). See for example this blog entry on one of the most important one. Furthermore, it stores all mail messages (except for attachments ? please see this tutorial and this thread on relocating them to a storage card) in the main memory ? this isn't a good approach either.įinally, especially on pre-Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC's, it has some bugs.

Also, it uses a very bad, system-unfriendly approach to keeping track of e-mails: it uses internal Windows CE databases (see this blog entry if you're interested in what these databases are like) which is a very bad approach as far as the overall speed and responsiveness of the system is concerned. It, however, lacks a lot of basic functionalities for example, downloading mail from multiple POP3/IMAP accounts at the same time and support for HTML mail. * It, along with FlexMail, is the only application to be able to access ActiveSync-synchronized mails. * its scheduled mail fetching capabilities are the best because it integrates into the Windows Mobile operating system far better than its alternatives. * it's available even after a hard reset and even without downloading/purchasing/installing anything It's a basic E-mail client with really basic capabilities.

Messaging (which, up to the WM2003 operating system, was called (Pocket) Inbox) comes with every Pocket PC built-in. The built-in (Pocket) Inbox / Messaging client Make sure you really thoroughly scrutinize the comparison chart and the chart explanation ? you'll find literally dozens of never-before-published tips and tricks (for example, "How do I make nPOPw be invoked when I click a 'mailto' link? How do I display HTML mails in nPOPw that the simple "External view" didn't display? How do I set up my Gmail account in mailer client X? How do I request read receipts in mailer applications that don't support sending out receipts but allow for editing the outgoing mail headers?" etc.)įirst, let's have a look at all the mailer clients for the Pocket PC, their strengths and weaknesses. It's a very thorough test and comparison with a lot of of practical usage tips. I've co-authored some SMTP and POP3 libraries for IBM so I do know how all the underlying protocols work / how mail messages should be processed.ĭisclaimer: this is not a tutorial of each e-mail application (make some Google searches/ look around on the developers' homepages for simple tutorials/ reviews). Thorough standards compliance tests require being or having been involved in actual mailer library development. * give you exact, thorough standards compliance test results. * give you tips on using your favourite ones * make it easier for you to choose the right e-mail client based on your needs
