8 Messaging

Understand messages

To send and receive e-mail messages from an e-mail account, you need to connect to the Internet or your corporate network, depending on the account.

You can send and receive:

●Outlook e-mail

●Internet e-mail through an ISP

You can also access e-mail from work using a VPN connection.

E-mail in the Outlook e-mail account is sent and received through synchronization with a computer using any synchronization software or through wireless synchronization directly with an Exchange Server. See Synchronization software on page 60 for more information.

Internet e-mail is sent and received by connecting to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) e-mail server. When connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 server, you need to use a modem to connect to your ISP. You can use an Ethernet card to connect to the local area network to which your e-mail server is connected.

Types of folders

Each messaging account has its own set of folders with the following default messaging folders:

●Deleted Items

●Drafts

●Inbox

●Outbox

●Sent Items

The messages you send and receive through the account are stored in these folders. You can also create additional folders within each account.
