I've been asked to look at the options for providing wireless access to
email over Pocket PC's from our Exchange 2000 installation. What is the best
way to configure the Pocket PC client for this, is there a MAPI client
available for Pocket PC or is it best to use pop or OWA?
Does anyone know how an OWA session looks on a Pocket PC screen, usable?

Dear Simon,

I am using IMAP4 on my Pocket PC. I tried everything and decided to use
IMAP4, because it is more conviniet for me.

Microsoft has a product Mobile Information Server. It provides mobile access
to Exchange 2000. Exchange 2003 supports mobile access by default.

I can use OWA on my PocketPC, but it is inconvinient. In Exchange 2003 there
is a OMA (Outlook Mobile Access). It is more simple but more fast.

Imap will probably be your best bet for now.  There's no MAPI client for the
pocketpc and owa works OK but it's not the greatest on the ppc.  If you were
running MIS for exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 then the better solution
would be to use server activesync.  I've been using that for almost a year
now and it's great.

Hi Simon,

I've done a PDA version of OWA that might interest you if you need to open
or send attachments, or access your Public Folders.
