Chapter 6 Accessing e-mail 105

Inbox settings

When you connect to a mail server, the messages on your device and mail server are synchronized: new messages or message headers are downloaded to the HP Jornada Inbox folder, messages in the HP Jornada Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted from your Inbox are removed from the server.

You can choose settings to control what will be downloaded.

Set Inbox to download all your messages or only new message headers to the Inbox folder.

Downloading only message headers saves storage space and requires less connect time.

By default, only messages from the last 3 days are downloaded.

By default, only message headers and the first 100 lines of text are downloaded, and the original messages remain on the mail server. If you read a message header and decide that you want the full copy, tap the Get Full Copy button on the Inbox toolbar. The full text of the message will be retrieved the next time you connect.

To change the default settings, or to set options for retrieving file attachments and meeting requests

2The E-mail Service Definition dialog displays two panels, Required and Optional. Choose the options you want for the selected service.

Attachments

.rtf if you are unsure, or you can choose to save the file as a Word file (.doc). For information about the file types associated with a particularprogram,refertothePocketOfficesectioninchapter5.
