Setting preferences for getting messages
1. From any mailbox screen, open the menus .
2. Select Options, and then select Preferences.
3. Select Delivery Options.
4. Set any of the following preferences.
• Get: Indicates whether to get message subjects
only or entire messages.
• Ask Every Time: Indicates if you want to see a
dialog box for selecting subjects only or entire
messages each time you retrieve email. If the box
is unchecked, messages are retrieved according to
the option you select in the Get pick list.
• Unread messages (IMAP accounts only): Downloads only unread mail to your
phone. If you don’t check this box and you select Get & Send, all of your
messages on your provider’s mail server are downloaded to your Inbox,
including messages you have already read.
• Mail from last: Gets messages sent within the number of days you specify.
• Download attachments: Automatically downloads files attached to email.
Attachments that exceed the maximum message size cannot be downloaded.
• Maximum message size: Sets the maximum size of an incoming email message.
Enter the size in kilobytes (KB). The default is 5KB, but you can enter any size
up to 2048KB (approximately 2 megabytes, or 2MB), including attachments.
The maximum message size that you can retrieve is 60KB for the body text and
approximately 5MB of total data for any attachments.
• Message Format: Sets the format in which you retrieve messages. Select
HTML to display any messages sent in HTML format with basic HTML
formatting intact, and other messages as plain text. Select Plain Text to display
all messages as plain text, regardless of the format in which they were sent. The
default setting is HTML.
5. Select OK.
The VersaMail application
sends all messages as
plain text only, with all
HTML tags stripped, even
if you are forwarding or
replying to a message
that was originally received
as HTML.
The POP protocol does not
support retrieval of unread
mail only from the server.
If you have a POP email
account, VersaMail
downloads all messages
regardless of whether
you have read them, and
regardless of whether this
box is checked.
