Most of the standards above are supported by Internet Service Providers and many corporate environments. Sony Ericsson P1 is supplied with Internet and email wizards which help users easily configure an email account. OTA (Over The Air) configuration of email and ISP accounts is supported.
Sony Ericsson P1 supports SSL and TLS encryption.
Automatic polling can be used so that email is automatically collected and presented in the Inbox. Controls are provided to filter messages based on size, enabling cost and download time to be managed.
Another option enables only email headers to be presented in the inbox. Headers are quick to download. The user may read and select headers and request the message to be downloaded if necessary.
If IMAP4 is used you can enable the IDLE command to keep connected to the email server. This allows the server to push new messages directly to the Sony Ericsson P1 as they arrive.
Email transmission is performed in the background, making it possible to perform other messaging functions during transmission.
A list of recently used addresses are available when creating a message. Sony Ericsson P1 allows distribution lists to be created and sender ID information is sent with message alerts.

Web based email can, of course, be accessed using the Sony Ericsson P1 browser.

Local folders
To improve the organization of your folders you can create more folders locally on Sony Ericsson P1. Local folders are only visible in the Messaging application. Local folders cannot be created on a Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™).
Push email
Push email is a method of 'pushing' or forwarding email to mobile devices as soon as a message reaches the email server. These solutions may also include calendar and contacts synchronization.
Push email solutions allow email messages to be delivered in the background in the same way as SMS or MMS messages.
