Sending e-mail

CC:own e-mail address — Yes / No (default). If the setting is Yes, the mail will be automat- ically sent to the address defined in Own e-mail address.

MIME character encoding — On (default) / Off. MIME encoding allows another MIME compli- ant e-mail system to read the character set used in your communicator. Only when text containing special characters (e.g. á, ä, ß) is sent to a non MIME compliant e-mail reader should the MIME encoding be turned off. When MIME encoding is off the special char- acters are automatically converted to ASCII characters: ‘ä’ becomes ‘a’ and so on.

Remote mailbox settings — Changing this set- ting opens a new set of options, described below. Your remote mailbox service provider will supply you with the required information.

Remote mailbox user name and Remote mail- box password — These may be required to con- nect to the server and to open your mailbox.

The password characters appear as asterisks

Pressing Cancel, or entering your user name and password incorrectly three times will ter- minate the connection to the remote mail- box. For information on how to change the

Remote mailbox password, contact your Re- mote mailbox service provider.

Remote mailbox folder — INBOX is the de- fault folder name for your incoming e-mail. Do not change this name without consulting with your remote mailbox service provider.

This option is only available when the remote mailbox protocol is IMAP4.

Remote mailbox protocol — IMAP4 (default) / POP3. Your remote mailbox must support one of these protocols in order to access your re- mote mail. Choose the e-mail protocol your mailbox service provider recommends.

Retrieve headers – All (default) / Recent. Deter- mines whether all e-mail headers or just the headers for e-mail received since the last con- nection will be retrieved. It is possible to have old or unread e-mail (that you have chosen not to download or delete) in the remote mailbox.

Retrieve attachments – Yes (default) / No. Determines whether possible e-mail attach- ments are downloaded or not. Text attach- ments are always downloaded. This option is only available if the remote mailbox protocol is IMAP4.

Delete retrieved — Yes / No (default). Deter- mines whether downloaded e-mail will be automatically deleted from the remote mail- box. All downloaded e-mail goes to the re- mote mailbox as well as the Received mail folder.
