All received e-mail messages are stored in your mailbox. When you open the mailbox, you
can choose whether you want to view the previously retrieved e-mail messages and e-mail
headings offline or connect to the e-mail server.
Connecting to the mailbox
There are two ways to start a connection:
• When you scroll to your mailbox and press the joystick, the phone asks you if you want
to Connect to mailbox? Select Yes to connect to your mailbox or No to view previously
retrieved e-mail messages offline.
• Select Options→ Connect.
Viewing e-mail messages when online
When you are online, you are continuously connected to a remote mailbox via a data call
or a packet data connection. See also ‘Data connection indicators’, p. 9, ‘GSM data calls’,
p. 29, and ‘Packet data (General Packet Radio Service, GPRS)’, p. 30.
Note: If you are using the POP3 protocol, e-mail messages are not updated
automatically in online mode. To see the newest e-mail messages, you need to
disconnect and then make a new connection to your mailbox.
If you are using the POP3 protocol, the connection to the remote mailbox may be
closed after a time-out period defined by the remote server.
Options when viewing e-
mail headings: Open, New
message, Connect /
Disconnect, Retrieve,
Delete, Message details,
Copy, Mark/Unmark, and
Exit.
Viewing e-mail messages when offline
When you view e-mail messages offline, your phone is not connected to the remote
mailbox. This mode helps you to save on connection costs if you are using high speed data
or normal data call as the connection type. See p. 29 for further information.
To view e-mail messages offline, you must first retrieve e-mail messages from your
mailbox, see the next section. After you have retrieved the e-mail messages to your phone,
to end the data connection, select Options→ Disconnect.
