Using c500 to receive email on Outlook on my PC?

[Guest techno12]

Here's my problem:

I work at a company where internet access is limited, so I'm forced to use my c500 to send/receive emails. Obviously, trying to reply to emails is like the text from hell, so ideally I'd like Outlook on my PC to connect to my phone and send/receive that way. Possible? Seeing is it's Microsoft all the way, I thought it'd be as simple as setting up a new account in Outlook on my PC, telling it to connect via Bluetooth to my phone, and redirect all emails from the phone to my PC and vice versa. (ie the phone is just a glorified modem for my internetless PC).

Have you looked at Jeyo Mobile Extender or Mobile Companion (available at Handango) ?

One of those might be what you're looking for.

I don't know about you, but my phone will sync the outlook folders with ActiveSync, so that if I have something in my outlook draft folder it'll transfer to my phone. Then you can just open it in drafts on your phone, and then send. This sounds exactly like what you want.

Argh! Tantalisingly close. Looks like it does exactly what I want, but only for SMS messages. There must be something out there that's similar, but handles ordinary emails!

Yeah I might try that! Found out how to get ActiveSync working over Bluetooth so I'm sure it's possible. I just thought it would be easier that's all, I don't trust ActiveSync as it keeps trying to merge all my contacts etc, and I don't want my PC clogged up with SMS contacts or my phone clogged up with email contacts from my PC!

The way to get round that is to set your categories in Outlook, and tell ActiveSunk to only synchronise certain categories. Outlook lets you set your own, which will carry across to your phone, so I have a set which are called phone, and another which are called PC, and the two never get merged.
