I asked this in another post, but I'll plug it in here in the hope that someone can lend some insight. I just bought a Treo 700w to replace a Qtek 9100 that died after 32 days! Anyway, I've owned a 650 and looked forward to Win Mobile 5.0 to be better compatible w/ my notebook (Dell M20). Everything seems to be working fine except for one little glitch. It is set up to sync with my Exchange server and does it quite well. However, on the device, I went to Outlook Email/menu/tools/options, wanting to add a signature to my emails and found that "Outlook Mail" isn't one of the options in the box preceded by "tap an account to change settings"! It has Text Message, MMS, and VZAvenue (a pop3 account I also use) as choices...but no mention of Outlook Email, even though it is, in fact, on the device and working fine, synchronizing everything just as it is supposed to, etc. Have I neglected to set something up or select some sort of set-up option somewhere either in ActiveSync on my PC (a Dell M20 notebook) or on the device? If you have an idea, I would certainly appreciate it. Thanks.
