Applications
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the terminal
Inbox folder, messages in the terminal Outbox folder are sent, and messages that were
deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the terminal Inbox.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server
rather than your host computer. When you delete a message on your terminal, it’s also
deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect.
You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages
while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which
saves space on your terminal.
When working offline, once you’ve downloaded new message headers or partial
messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server, then decide which messages to
download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete
messages you’ve marked for retrieval and sends the messages you’ve created.
You can use multiple e-mail services to receive your messages. For each e-mail service
you intend to use, first set up and name the e-mail service. If you use the same service to
connect to different mailboxes, set up and name each mailbox connection.
Setting Up an E-mail Service
In Inbox on your terminal, tap Services - New Service. Follow the instructions in the New
Service wizard on the screen. For an explanation of a screen, tap Start - Help.
When finished, tap Services - Connect to connect to your e-mail server. For more
information on using the Inbox program, see
Inbox on page 5-14.
