Setting mail retrieval options for a POP or IMAP account
The next VersaMail Setup screen displays different options, depending on whether
your mail service uses a POP or IMAP protocol.
To set mail retrieval server options for a POP or IMAP account:
1. (Optional) Do any of the following:
– Select Get unread mail ONLY to download only u nread e-mail to your
handheld. If you don’t choose this option and you tap Get & Send, all your
e-mail messages on your provider’s mail server are downloaded to your
Inbox, including messages you have already read. To get all e-mail
(including e-mail you have already read) and not just unread e-mail, deselect
Get unread mail ONLY.
– To delete messages on your provider’s mail server when they are deleted in
the VersaMail application, select the Delete messages on the server when
they are deleted in VersaMail check box.
– (POP account only) To get e-mail on your handheld but also leave it on the
server so you can view it later on your desktop, select the Leave mail on
server check box. For example, if you create an account to receive e-mail from
your Yahoo account and select this option, your old Yahoo e-mail is still
visible the next time you visit Yahoo.com to access your Yahoo e-mail Inbox.
– To limit the maximum size of an incoming e-mail message, enter the size in
kilobytes (KB) for the Maximum Message Size. The maximum size of an
incoming message is 5KB by default, but you can enter a smaller size. The
maximum message size that you can retrieve using a Palm Wireless
connection is 60KB for the body text and any attachments.
