If you want to get Mail to your Pocket PC, one option is to enable 
Internet Sharing on your Mac, see the Missing Sync manual for details.

Once you've done this, you can just configure Inbox to download mail 
directly from your mail server.  Inbox supports both POP3 and IMAP4 
servers, so it should work with most any mail server.

Note that you need to be careful about enabling Internet Sharing as 
running it will run a DHCP server which can conflict with other DHCP 
servers on the same network.  You can work around this by going into 
the Network System Preference, selecting "Network Port Configurations" 
from the "Show" menu and clicking on "New..." to create a new "Port 
Configuration".  Select the "Built-in FireWire" "Port", and give it the 
name "Built-in FireWire".  Now when you setup Internet Sharing, make 
sure you only check the "On" checkbox for the new "Built-in FireWire" 
Port in the list.  Doing this will do DHCP over FireWire, and as long 
as you don't use FireWire to network multiple computers it shouldn't 
create any conflicts.
