Viewing and using the Reminders screen

The Reminders screen on your handheld shows info about new e-mail messages. It also shows alerts from other applications, such as Calendar appointments.

To view the Reminders screen, tap the blinking asterisk when it appears in the upper-left corner of any screen.

If you set up a scheduled auto get mail and you receive new e-mail messages, they are downloaded into the Inbox. If you are working with e-mail messages in the Inbox, the Reminders screen doesn’t display a reminder for new messages, because they are already displayed in the Inbox.

A broken envelope icon appears next to a notification when an auto get mail fails.

•Tap Done to close the Reminders screen and return to whatever you were doing on your handheld before the Reminders screen appeared.

•Tap Clear All to delete all reminders on the Reminders screen.

When a notification appears on the Reminders screen, tap the notification to go to the Inbox of that account, or launch the VersaMail application and go to that account.
