Your Palm.Net mailbox
Your mailbox on the Palm.Net network has a storage capacity of up to
2 MB; that’s more than two million readable characters.
Attachments of messages in your mailbox take up storage space even
though most attachments cannot be downloaded to your handheld.
Messages that are larger than 50KB are not stored in your mailbox at
all because they cannot be delivered to your handheld; rather, they’re
returned to the sender as undeliverable.
A full mailbox
If your mailbox should run out of storage space, incoming messages
are returned to the sender as undeliverable. To make room quickly in
a full mailbox, you can delete blocks of messages. See “Deleting
messages from your mailbox” below.
Life span of a message on the network
After you download the complete text of a message, or part of a long
message, the message remains in your mailbox for 30 days. After 30
days, it is deleted from your mailbox.
Important: A message that you do not download to your handheld
remains in your mailbox for 60 days. After 60 days, it is
deleted from your mailbox.
