CHAPTER 18 Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages

Tip

You can also save downloaded files to an

expansion card.

Tip

The maximum message size you can download is 60KB for the body text and approximately 5MB total, including attachments. If an attachment is too large, it cannot be downloaded to the handheld. You can download a maximum of 10 attachments for any received messages, regardless of message size.

Working with attachments

You can easily download, view, and send attachments with e-mail messages.

Downloading an attachment to your handheld

E-mail may contain attached files, such as Microsoft Word or text files, that you want to view or install on your handheld. When you receive a message that has an attachment, the VersaMail application scans your Handheld to see if you have an application that can open the attachment. If so, you can open the attachment with the application.

Here are the kinds of attached files you can work with:

vCard (VCF) This is contact information. Open these files in the Contacts application on your handheld.

vCal/iCal (VCS or ICS) This is usually a calendar appointment or a task. Open these files in the Calendar or Tasks application on your handheld.

Text (TXT) This is usually a memo or another plain text file. Open these files in the Memos application on your handheld.

HTML (HTML or HTM) This is usually a web page or a formatted text file. Open these files in the palmOne Web Pro application on your handheld. Your handheld displays HTML attachments with full formatting intact.

Microsoft Word (DOC) Open these files in the Documents To Go application on your handheld. (Application must be installed from the CD.)

Microsoft Excel (.XLS) Open these files in the Documents To Go application on your handheld. (Application must be installed from the CD.)

Graphics files (JPG, BMP, TIF, GIF) Open these files in the palmOne™ Media application on your handheld.
