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 8 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” (returned to sender).

Look for the section that reads
Automatic Message Management
. You’ll see a number of options:
•
Save outgoing messages in Sent folder.
By default, any email message you send is
not
saved to the Sent folder. If you want a copy of each email
you send to be saved to your device, 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. By default, this
option is not selected.
•
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
folder. (Read more in
The
Email System Folders
on page 107.)
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.
