Nokia 9290 manual Retrieve, Advanced, Press the Menu key to activate the Servers tab

7.4 Servers page

1.Press the Menu key to activate the Servers tab.

2.Select Mail account type (POP3 or IMAP4). This defines the mail protocol your mailbox service provider recom- mends. If you are allowed to choose between these two protocols, you should select IMAP if you are working with multiple folders and receive a lot of attachments, and POP if you have a single incoming mail folder and receive no attachments. POP may be slightly faster in some situations, but IMAP gives the user more control over the mailbox and mail retrieval. Note that mailbox type cannot be changed after the e-mail account set- tings have been saved!

3.Enter the Outgoing mail server IP address or host name. This is also known as the SMTP server, sending server, or mail relay. When you are sending e-mail, your Nokia 9290 Communicator connects to this server and sends the mail. This server will then relay the mail towards the recipient’s mail server (e.g. 123.123.123.123 or mail.server.com).

4.Enter the Incoming mail server IP address or host name. This is also known as the IMAP or POP server (depending on the account type) or the remote mailbox server. When you receive mail, the mail will be stored on this server.

During mail retrieval, your Nokia 9290 Communicator connects to this server in order to download mail.

7.5 Retrieve

Press the Menu key to activate the Retrieve tab and fill in the following settings:

•Retrieve: Choose what will be fetched from the remote mailbox when the connection is established. The options are: Message headers (stay online)/Messages and attachments/Messages. The last option is available only if the Mail account type is IMAP4.

•Max. size of message: The maximum size of a message that will be retrieved with the Retrieve mail command. The minimum is 1 and the maximum is 1000 kB (kilobytes). One kilobyte corresponds to approximately half of a written page of plain text. Max. size of message also includes attachments.

•Synchronize: Sync your mail folders.

7.6 Advanced page

Press the Menu key to activate the Advanced tab and fill in the following settings if necessary. Contact your e-mail service provider for the correct settings.

•Default mail type: Select the type of mail that you can write and send from your Nokia 9290 Communicator. The options are Plain text/Plain text (no MIME)/ Formatted text (HTML).

•If you are using accented characters, you should use either Plain text or Formatted text. Otherwise, accented characters will not be transferred correctly.

•For the best compatibility across existing electronic mail systems, choose Plain text. If you are only com- municating with people with new, graphical e-mail systems, you can choose Formatted text. Formatted text may not be correctly shown to recipients with older, text-based e-mail systems.

•Use Plain text (no MIME) only if corresponding with people with old e-mail systems.

•Send mail: Choose how mail messages are sent from your Nokia 9290 Communicator. The options are Imme- diately/During next connection/Upon request.

•Bear in mind that if you select During next connection, the mail will be sent during the next connection to that mailserver, not during the next connection to the Internet.

•Include signature: Select whether your signature is attached to sent mail. The options are No/Use my contact card/Custom. If you choose Custom, press Edit signature to create a signature.

•Request read report: Select whether you want to receive a report when the recipient has read your mail. The options are Yes/No.

•Not all e-mail software can generate a read report. A read report should not be used as proof that a mail has been read or not read. Usually the recipient can decide whether a read report will be generated or not.

•Some mail systems call read reports “read receipts” or “disposition notifications.”

•Allow report requests: This option defines whether the Nokia 9290 Communicator will generate a “read report” mail to the Outbox if received mail requires it. The options are Yes/No.

•Read reports will be generated in your outbox. The Nokia 9290 Communicator will reply to standard disposition notification requests and some non- standard requests. Depending on the sender’s mail system, a read report may not be generated. If the sender’s mail system does not support standard disposition notifications, the mail system may not be capable of utilizing the information in the read report automatically.

•Copy to my mail address: Select whether you want to send a copy of sent mail to your own mail address. The options are Yes/No.
