Preventing Messaging from using ActiveSync automatically

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

I have an IMAP server running on my home network. It's used to provide
an e-mail feed both locally from machines on the LAN and remotely across
the Internet, usually from a Pocket PC. Due to licensing limitations I'm
only permitted one connection at a time to the server, but this isn't
usually a problem because I only ever use one PC at a time and obviously
no PCs are connecting when I'm mobile with the PPC.

But whenever the PPC in placed a cradle attached to any LAN machine, or
if it is ActiveSynced via Bluetooth with a connected machine, the
Messaging application sees the connection and uses it to open an IMAP
session with the server which it then keeps open until it's manually
closed. I've lost count of the number of times I've been refused a
connection to the server from a PC and have had to hunt down the errant
PPC so I can disconnect it from the IMAP.

Is there any way of preventing the Messaging application from doing
this? I've considered setting up a second, dummy e-mail account on the
Pocket PC and setting it as default so the IMAP isn't accessed but I
feel there must be a more elegant solution.

wouldnt just setting the inbox on the PPC to the "activesync" account do the
same thing, without having to create a dummy account?

This is what I meant by pointing it to "Outlook Email" (which is the new
name of Activesync account in Second Edition)
