Look for the section that reads
Ring for receipt of new email.
Note that this option is checked by default, which means new message notifications are turned on and you’ll
hear the default ringtone when you receive a new email. You’ll receive this and the balloon notification no
matter what screen you’re viewing or application you’re in (except no balloon notifications will appear while
you’re playing games).

If you want to change the default ringtone, select a notification “category” from the first pop-up menu. In the
example above, “Tunes” has been selected. Depending on what category you’ve selected, you will have
additional sound selections in the pop-up menu to the right. You will hear a preview of the sound when you
select it.

Automatic Message Management
To help you manage your mailbox size, the Email Settings screen offers you some ways to keep the total size
down automatically. Remember, your mailbox cannot store more than 6 MB of messages, including attachments.
Once you’ve reached this limit (if you don’t have any of the automatic message management options checked),
new email will “bounce” (be returned to sender).
To set automatical message management, do the following while in the Email application:
1
From the Browse Email screen, press
Menu
then select
Settings
. The Email Settings screen appears.
2
Look for the section that reads
Automatic Message Management
. You’ll see a number of options:
•
Save outgoing messages in Sent folder.
If you want a copy of each email you send to be saved to your Sent folder, check this check box. If you
change your mind at some point, select the check box to clear the check.
•
Empty Trash every night.
If you want your Trash to be emptied automatically each night, then check this check box.
•
Auto-discard msgs when mailbox is full.
With this option selected, once your mailbox is full, the system will automatically make room for new
messages by permanently discarding old messages, starting with the oldest message. The system looks
for old messages to discard in all your Email folders,
except
for the
Saved
and
Drafts
folders. (Read
more in
The Email System Folders
on page 102.)
You can further specify that the system not delete messages less than 7 days old by checking the
Only
discard messages 7 days or older
check box.
