Does Pocket Outlook on Windows Mobile support HTML email?

If so, how do you configure it so that I can see my emails that have HTML in it?





I have a Treo 700wx.
Does Pocket Outlook on Windows Mobile support HTML email?
It depends on your Windows Mobile Version. It does NOT up to Windows Mobile v5. So it does not in windows Mobile 2003/2003SE or v5. According to Microsoft, it suppose to in windows Mobile v6 - but it's not really fully relased just yet - only a few devices are out yet, and some "hacked versions" that can run on other models.





Depending on your PocketPC model, you may have a chance to UPGRADE your windows Mobile verison for a small fee soon. Like Hewlett-Packard does with their better PocketPC's the 24xx/27xx and up series.





Other than that you may have to utilize a 3rd party email client for your pocket PC that does, if HTML emails are critical for you.





But in my experience, if you synchronize your Pocket Outlook with your regular Desktop Outlook, it'll convert the HTML emails to regular text emails.
Reply:Windows Mobile 6 does...
Reply:No version of Pocket Outlook has supported HTML mail in any usable way so far - I wouldn't hold up too much hope of WM6 being any better. Conversely - FlexMail 2007 by WEBIS.NET handles HTML mail with aplomb. It's cost you $30 at the moment (around 拢15) but it is WELL worth it.
