retrieves new messages and downloads them to your handheld, without needing
to tap Get Mail.
If auto get downloads any new messages, your handheld notifies you by blinking
an indicator light, beeping, or vibrating. The handheld also displays a visual list of
notifications on the Reminders screen.
The auto get feature downloads the first 3KB of each message. If a message is larger
than 3KB, tap the More button on the message screen to download and view the
entire message.
