White Paper M600
Messaging
M600 supports the following standards:
POP3 | POP is used to retrieve and delete messages from an incoming mail server in the net- |
| work |
|
|
IMAP4 | IMAP is also used to copy, retrieve, move and delete messages from an incoming mail |
| server. IMAP has more features than POP such as remote folders. IMAP4 also offers |
| support for the IDLE command, which if supported by the server, offers push capabili- |
| ties. |
|
|
SMTP | SMTP is used to send messages from a mail client to a mail server. |
|
|
MIME | MIME is a format that describes data, such as, defining the attachments included in |
| email. |
|
|
Most of the standards above are supported by Internet Service Providers and many corporate environments. M600 is supplied with an Internet wizard which helps users to configure an account. OTA (Over The Air) configuration of email and ISP accounts is supported.
M600 supports SSL and TLS encryption.
Automatic polling can be used so that email is automatically collected and presented in the Inbox. Controls are provided to filter messages based on size, enabling cost and download time to be man- aged.
Another option enables only email headers to be presented in the inbox. Headers are quick to down- load. The user may read and select headers and request the message to be downloaded if neces- sary.
If IMAP4 is used you can enable the IDLE com- mand to keep connected to the email server. This allows the server to push new messages directly to the M600 as they arrive.
Email transmission is performed in the background, making it possible to perform other messaging functions during transmission.
A list of recently used addresses are available when creating a message. M600 allows distribution lists to be created and sender ID information is sent with message alerts.
M600 can send any type of attachment, including the following:
•Pictures.
•Video clips.
•Audio files.
•SIS files.
•JAR/JAD files.
•Themes.
•vObjects (vCalendar, vCard, vNote, vBook- mark).
•File produced in the document editors. Attachments may be viewed using the pre installed viewers for Microsoft® Word, Excel, PowerPoint
and Adobe® Acrobat® (PDF). See “Quickoffice®” on page 32 for more information.
A signature may be set up so that essential details are automatically copied to the end of each outgo- ing email.
The supplied Sony Ericsson PC Suite enables email to be synchronized with Microsoft® Outlook® and Lotus® Notes®. During synchronization, new
