Sync POP3 Folders already in Outlook

I've been using Outlook 2003 for a while now. What it seems is that the PPC
(Dell Axim X30) only allows me to have either an account on the PPC, used
for sending and recieving over my WiFi connection, OR syncing my Outlook
folders when I do an ActiveSync. What I want, is that the messages I recieve
on my PPC should be sync'd with outlook, and especially that the messages I
send from my PPC should be put into the Outlook Sent Items, and I should be
able to see all the old messages from my folders.

Please help.

Thanks

Maybe someone has another suggestion, but you can't do exactly what you
want. ActiveSync sees each POP account, and the Outlook Mail folders, each
as a seperate account, so it seperates the mail. By setting up the POP
account on the PPC and in Outlook, you now have 2 clients to the one
mailbox, and it will be difficult to keep them in sync.

However, what I do is configure the POP account in Outlook (along w/ my
Exchange Account), and have it deliver the mail to the Outlook Inbox. You
can do this with multiple POP accounts even. Then, I configure Send/Recieve
Groups in Outlook (under Tools) to check the POP account every 5 minutes.
When new mail comes in, it gets dropped in the Outlook Folders, and when I
sync the PPC w/ Outlook, I get all my email. When I send from the PPC, it
again syncs to Outlook, and you get the mail in the Sent Folder.

Ok, I understand that there is no way to have them combined, and they are in
fact 2 separate acounts (very annoying).

So getting my e-mail is not a problem, b/c when the Axim checks it over the
Wi-Fi connection, it leaves a copy of the message on the server, so when I
get back to my computer, my Desktop Outlook gets the message. The thing is
that when I send a message using Wi-Fi, unless I BCC it to myself and
remember later to put it in the sent items on my desktop, it will never make
it there. What I think you were saying is that you have the PPC on the
cradle and send the message using the "Outlook E-mail" account, and that
syncs it to outlook's outbox and ultimately it ends up in the sent items
folder.

So are u saying that there is nothing to do about this problem? I can't get
it to sync my sent items of my pop3 account on the PPC to my sent items in
outlook??

That's correct - you need to bcc yourself the item if you're sending
it from any account other than the ActiveSync account in Inbox.

I think I over-complicated my suggestion, let me see if I can make it a
little simpler:

1) DON'T configure the mail client on the PPC to do anything. You should
have NO accounts defined.

2) Configure Desktop Outlook to pull your POP mail periodically

3) Use the WiFi to ActiveSync to the Desktop.

I may be a little different, because I'm actually doing an Exchange
ActiveSync (not to the Desktop), but I think it should work the same way if
you Sync w/ the Desktop. If you had it configured this way, and didn't have
WiFi, you would send a message from the PPC, which would sit in the Outbox
until you dropped it in the cradle. Then ActiveSync would put everything in
your Outlook Outbox, and it would get sent from the Desktop, and a copy kept
in Sent Items (based on your Outlook settings). I don't see why a Network
Sync would work any different.
