If the FOMA terminal cannot receive mail
When mail is delivered to the i-mode Center, it is
immediately sent to your FOMA terminal. How-
ever, if your FOMA terminal is turned off or you
are outside the i-mode service area and cannot
receive mail, or if you have selected “ON” in
“Receive option setting” (p.279), the mail is
stored at the i-mode Center.
When keeping your mail at the i-mode Center, it
is resent up to three times at regular intervals.
Using other settings, you can select and receive
your mail at the i-mode Center.

NOTE
e
You can send and receive i-mode mail where the mes-
sage body contains up to 5,000 double-byte characters
(10,000 bytes), but the number of characters that can
be sent and received is reduced depending on the
amount of data in any attached files. You cannot send
and receive attached files that are not supported by
i-mode mail. Such attached files are automatically
deleted in the i-mode Center and you receive only the
message. When an attachment has been deleted in
this way, the “
添付ファイル削除 ” (Attached file delete)
message is added to the corresponding i-mode mail
message (The “
添付ファイル削除 ” (Attached file
delete) message is included the count of the number of
characters that can be received).
e
If the number of characters in the i-mode mail message
body exceeds the maximum number of characters per-
mitted, either “/” or “//” is inserted at the end of the mes-
sage and the remaining portion is automatically deleted.
e
When you send i-mode mail to a mova terminal, the
message body can contain up to 2,000 double-byte
characters. An i-shot or i-motion mail is sent as a
message with URL to show the mail and other
attached files are deleted.
e If the number of characters in the subject exceeds the
maximum number of characters permitted, all charac-
ters that exceed the limit are automatically deleted.
e
If you send an i-mode mail message with pictographs
to other cellular phone service providers (i.e., au,
Vodafone, and TU-KA), similar pictographs will be
shown in the receiver's display automatically.
* There are some cases when the pictographs may not
be correctly displayed depending on the receiver’s
model and function.
* If there are no corresponding pictographs on the side
of the receiver, they will be converted into the symbol
“
〓
” or a more common character.

depending on the mail file sizes. When the amount of held
mail exceeds the limit, the i-mode Center no longer accepts
incoming mail and any new mail is returned to the sender
together with an error message. In this case, the “ (red)”
icon appears on the i-mode terminal. If you have selected
“ON” in “Receive option setting” (p.279), “ (red)” may not
appear on your i-mode terminal for excess of the limit.
e You can receive mail held at the i-mode Center to
your FOMA terminal using “Check new messages”
(p.261) or “Receive option” (p.260). When the new
mail arrives on your FOMA terminal, other held mail
and messages are also received at the same time.

All the mail held at the i-mode Center is deleted once it
has been received on your i-mode terminal. The received
mails are stored on the i-mode terminal.
