OWA echange e-mail pocket pc sync
I had a blackberry 7290 thru t-mobile that used to sync my IMAP/POP3 mail and OWA exchange server e-mails automatically. Thru the t-mobile website all i had to do was put in my e-mail address, username, password and server info. Now i have a pocket pc (at&t 8525) and i can't get my OWA exchange server mail to sync. At the minimum i would like to be able to read my OWA e-mail. Is there a way to do this without buy new software for my pocket pc?

Yeah The Kirschi is correct, this way works very well and I have done it for a few years.
I would have a go at setting OMA aswell.

Your black berry was easier because you were NOT really syncing directly to your exchange (based on your description of how you set it up you were poping mail from your exchange server). So your exchange server and firewall may NOT be setup for direct sync.
A quick work around may be to use the browser on your handheld and go to the same address as OWA - but just try .../OMA instead of .../exchange (example mail.mydomain.com/OMA). If it has been setup correctly it should bring you to a web site that is formatted for hand helds to be able read email. As far as getting the sync to work - if it was working on your old phone via pop3 so just do the same thing with your new phone. Don't try to sync directly to your exchange - set it up just like the old one use the pop3 connector. It's not a true sync but you'll get your messages. If that does not work - what errors are you running into?
