CHAPTER 15

Sending and Receiving Email Messages

 

 

Did You Know?

If more than one scheduled auto get happens at the same time (for example, for two separate email accounts), auto get retrieves messages in the following order:

1.Any past-due auto get (for example, a retry of an earlier failed auto get).

2.Current retrievals according to the order of email accounts (#1, #2, and so on).

Auto get mail with notification

You can set up the VersaMail application to automatically get new email messages and download them to your handheld with the auto get feature.

If auto get downloads any new messages, your handheld lets you know with a blinking light or a beep. And a list with the number of new messages retrieved appears on the Reminders screen.

The auto get feature downloads only the first 3KB of each message. You can select the More button on the message screen to download the entire message.

Auto get recognizes any filter criteria you set up for downloading messages. Messages that don’t meet these filter criteria are not downloaded during an auto get. You need to turn off all filters and manually retrieve these messages.

NOTE In order for auto get mail to work, your handheld must be able to make periodic connections to the Internet through your Bluetooth wireless technology-enabled mobile phone or a Bluetooth access point. If your handheld is not within range of a Bluetooth device that allows it to connect to the Internet, auto get mail does not take place.

Scheduling auto get mail

You can set up different schedules for each of your email accounts, but you can set up only one schedule for each account. For example, if you set up a schedule to get mail on weekdays for your Yahoo! account, you can’t set up a separate schedule for weekends for that account.

The auto get feature may not work with your specific VPN connection. It doesn’t work for SSL connections, nor does it work if your security preferences include encrypting databases on your handheld.
