Working with Large Messages and Attachments

When you receive large email messages and attachments, the Smartphone downloads only a portion of them. You can view the partial message or attachment and decide if you want to download the rest of it.

When you synchronize your Outlook E-mail account with your desktop computer or Exchange Server, the Smartphone downloads the first 0.5 KB of each new email message by default. When you connect to an Internet email server, it downloads the amount (in KB) of each new message that you specified when you set up the account. The message size includes its attachments. The original messages and attachments remain on the server or your desktop computer.

Note: For information about changing Outlook email synchronization settings, see “ActiveSync” on page 145. For information about changing Internet email settings, see “Setting up Internet Email” on page 101.

In the message list, messages with an attachment display an envelope icon with a paperclip. Within a message, attachments are displayed as a list of hyperlinks at the bottom of the message, and are preceded by an attachment icon. The hyperlink includes the file name and size of the attachment.

Note: On messages received from a POP3 email server, the attachment size is omitted.

The attachment icon has the following 3 states:

•Not downloaded

•Marked for download

•Downloaded
