Attachment Limits
Another way you can manage the size of your mailbox is to limit the size and types of attachments that the Email
application will deliver to you. Make these settings by doing the following while in the Email application:
1
From the Browse Email screen, press
Menu
then select
Settings
. Email Settings screen appears
.
2
Look for the section that reads
Attachment Limits
. You’ll see a number of options:
3
If you want to set a size limit for attachments, check the box that reads
Remove attachments larger than
,
then open the pop-up menu and select the maximum size of attachments you want delivered. Select from
100 KB, 250 KB, 500 KB, or 1 MB.
4
If you want attachments removed from your incoming emails, you must check the boxes for the attachment
types you want removed. Note that the attachments that are viewable on the device are grouped at the top
of the list.

Press
Back
when you’re finished with your settings. If you don’t want to save the changes, press [
+
.
].
Space Limitations
You can store up to
6 MB
of email messages (including attachments) using the Email application. Once you near
your storage space limit, you will receive a warning and recommendation that you discard some messages and
empty your Trash. If your mailbox is over 75% full, you’ll be alerted to this fact on the Email splash screen.
A more efficient way to handle your space limitation is to have the system automatically remove messages from
your mailbox by setting preferences. This is all described in
Automatic Message Management
on page 106.
If your mailbox is full, new incoming messages will “bounce”, which means it will be returned to the sender. Note
that you will
not
be notified when a message bounces.
