Connecting directly to an email server
You can send and receive email messages by connecting to
an email server. You’ll need to set up a remote connection
to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your email
server.
When you connect to the email server, new messages are
downloaded to the device’s Inbox folder. Also, messages in
the device’s Outbox folder are sent and messages that
have been deleted on the email server are removed from
the device’s message folders.
Folder behavior with a direct connection to an email
server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether
you are using POP3 or IMAP4.
• If you use POP3 and you move email messages to a
folder you created, the link is broken between the
messages on the device and their copies on the mail
server. The next time you connect, the mail server will
see that the messages are missing from the device and
delete them. This prevents you from having duplicate
copies of a message, but it also means that you will no
longer have access to messages that you move to folders
created from anywhere except the device.
• If you use IMAP4, the folders you created and the email
messages you moved are mirrored on the server.
Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you
connect to your mail server. This synchronisation of
folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server;
create new folders or rename/delete folders when
connected.
Creating an email account
You need to create a new account to be used for retrieving
and sending email messages.
