Okay maybe I assume too much
I thought since I can cut and paste text on my desktop version of outlook
I would be able to do the same on the Pocket PC Phone version also.

I have a spanking new Verizon XV6700 running Mobile PC 5.0
I like to manage my emails (an all the threads) into action items by copying
the
gist of the email into MS Word.
I cannot select and copy or Ctrl-C any text in an email as displayed on the
Pocket PC phone. Of course I can do it with the same email on the Desktop.
I haven't set up the Pocket PC to retrieve email directly from the POP
server yet until I checked out my functionality - this being a critical one
for me.

Any suggestions - is there a better Outlook Mail Client or am I just not
being
observant?

You can cut and paste almost anywhere using the keyboard and <ctrl-C>
and <ctrl-V>

In "Inbox" (as in PIE) while the tap/hold option to copy is not there,
the edit menu contains copy and paste selections
