accounts is supported.
M600 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 man

Another option enables only email headers to be
presented in the inbox. Headers are quick to down

request the message to be downloaded if neces

If IMAP4 is used you can enable the IDLE com-
mand to keep connected to the email server. This
allows the server to push new messages directly to
the M600 as they arrive.

making it possible to perform other messaging
functions during transmission.
A list of recently used addresses are available when
creating a message. M600 allows distribution lists
to be created and sender ID information is sent
with message alerts.
