Chapter 5 Sending and receiving e-mail 61

Using Inbox

In Inbox on your P/PC, tap Compose, Options, the Services tab, and then the Add button. A setup wizard walks you through the steps.

To download your messages from the server

1.Tap Service, and select the connection you want to use.

2.Tap Connect to start downloading.

The mail that you receive using a dial-up connection appears in the Inbox folder on your P/PC, together with the mail you synchronize with your desktop computer. Messages that you receive remotely are linked to your mail server rather than your desktop computer.

You can work online, which means that you read and respond to messages while connected to the server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your P/PC.

You can also work offline. Once you have downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the server and then decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete messages you have marked for retrieval and sends the messages you have composed (see “Receiving messages” for details).
