SkyTel On-line Services
Wireless Internet Email
With BlackBerry by SkyTel, you have a true extension of your desktop email. Email
sent to your desktop will also be sent to your handheld. Responses from your
handheld appear to the recipient as if you are sitting at your desk.
■
Once the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and your BlackBerry desktop software are
properly set up, you will automatically receive your corporate email on your
handheld. Your desktop email will be checked every few minutes. When new
email arrives, your handheld will receive a preview message. You can request to
receive more of the email - up to 4,000 total characters. When you respond to
the email from your handheld, it will appear exactly as if it came from your
desktop email.
■
To send email from your handheld, simply address your message to another
email address — just like you would on your desktop.
