Messaging
When pressing the assigned messaging key on
G900c a selection of four options displays:
•email
• push email
•Web mail
Email
G900c supports the following email standards:
Most of the standards above are supported by
Internet Service Providers and many corporate
environments. G900c is supplied with an Internet
wizard which helps users to configure an account.
OTA (Over The Air) configuration of email and ISP
accounts is supported.
G900c supports SSL and TLS encryption.
Automatic polling can be used so that email is
automatically collected and presented in the Inbox.
Controls are provided to filter messages based on
size, enabling cost and download time to be
managed.
Another option enables only email headers to be
presented in the Inbox. Headers are quick to
download. The user may read and select headers
and request the message to be downloaded if
necessary.
If IMAP4 is used, the IDLE command can be
enabled to keep the phone connected to the email
server. This allows the server to push new
messages directly to the G900c as they arrive.
Email transmission is performed in the background,
making it possible to perform other messaging
functions during transmission.
A list of recently used addresses is available when
creating a message. G900c allows distribution lists
to be created and sender ID information is sent
with message alerts.
G900c can send any type of attachment, including
the following:
• Pictures
• Video clips
• Audio files
• SIS files
• JAR/JAD files
•Themes
• vObjects (vCalendar, vCard, vNote, vBookmark)
A signature may be set up so that essential details
are automatically copied to the end of each
outgoing email.
The supplied PC Suite for Sony Ericsson enables
email to be synchronized with Microsoft Outlook
and Lotus Notes. During synchronization, new
email from the PC is transferred in to the
POP3 Used to retrieve and delete messages from an incoming mail server in the network.
IMAP4 Also used to copy, retrieve, move and delete messages from an incoming mail server.
IMAP has more features than POP, such as remote folders. IMAP4 also offers support
for the IDLE command, which (if supported by the server) offers push capabilities.
SMTP Used to send messages from a mail client to a mail server.
MIME A format that describes data, such as defining the attachments included in an email.
