Palm Zire 72 manual Auto get mail with notification, Scheduling auto get mail

CHAPTER 18 Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages

Did You Know?

If more than one scheduled auto get happens at the same time (for example, for two separate e-mail 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 e-mail accounts (#1, #2, and so on).

Did You Know?

For some nonsupported connection types, the auto get mail option doesn’t appear on the Options menu; for others, if you try to set up an auto get schedule, an error message appears.

Auto get mail with notification

You can set up the VersaMail application to automatically get new e-mail 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 tap 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.

Scheduling auto get mail

You can set up different schedules for each of your e-mail 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, or if you have set up the security preferences on your handheld to encrypt databases on the handheld.
