Receiving/Reading Maildrop Messages

Your pager is capable of receiving Maildrop messages (Information Services). Maildrop messages are received the same way as personal messages. One maildrop (indicated by O for audible alert or K for silent alert) can store up to eight different messages designated for that maildrop. Maildrop messages are located on the second row of the display. If no maildrop messages have been received, no maildrop icons are displayed.

￿ ￿

Note: To save a message, move it to a folder. For more information, see “Moving Messages to Folders” on page 38.

To read other personal messages, press v or s to select the message you want to read. When a message slot is selected, the personal message indicator changes from D to P.

Repeat Steps 2 through 5 to read your messages.

Note: Unique to maildrops, when a new message is received, the newest one (K) is displayed at the top of the list. The older message is moved down to one of the history slots (and is now displayed with U). When this happens, the older (history) message is considered to have been read, whether it actually has been or not. The maildrop history files may not be available on your pager if this feature is not enabled by your service provider.

If [is pointing to the message you want to read, go to Step 4. Otherwise, ￿press w until the message you want is at the top of the list.

Note: The list moves up; the indicator does not move down.
