Hope I am not underestimating your knowledge. You say you set up the e-mail
accounts on web sites. Are you sure these are PoP3 mailboxes and not Http
mailboxes (like Hotmail is). Outlook Express supports Http Mail, while the
Inbox on the PPC does not. At least not natively. If it is really a PoP3
account, then the post by Agent_C has some valuable insight. If it is
really an Http account, then you would have to access the mail via the Web
browser interface, or see if httpMail, a plugin for Inbox, can help.
