Cannot Open E-Mail after Restoring System
When I restore a backup created using the program ActiveSync on my handheld PC (H/PC), it sometimes happens that I cannot open my e-mail messages any more. They still are present in the Inbox of the Pocket Outlook program but it is impossible to open them. How can I solve this problem ?
This can happen if the e-mail messages on the H/PC are not linked to messages on the workstation, and it applies to the following products:
- Microsoft Windows CE Services, versions 2.0 and 2.1
- Microsoft Windows CE versions 2.0 for the handheld PC
To resolve this situation, it is necessary to synchronise the H/PC with the workstation. To achieve this, first connect the H/PC to the workstation. Once connected perform the following actions on the workstation:
- Click the Start button, select Programs, Communication, and finally click ActiveSync.
- Select Sync Now, and then Disconnect.
- Now you should be able to open the e-mail messages.
