Outlook issues

ok, so I am new at this, but I can not figure out how to get my phone (outlook) to receive my email messages, I can create a new account that will receive them but then the sync is useless, I would like to send and receive in outlook. My email server is a pop 3. I set up the active sync and can get them that way but what is the sense in that I might as well just read them from my PC is there anyway of setting up the mobile Outlook to recieve messages from a pop3 server. I do not have an exchange server.

Go to Messaging and Setup E-mail "Tap to setup a new account"

Put your POP server settings in there and you are set. You might want to make the setting change to keep a copy on the server so that you can view on your desktop as well.
