You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your desktop
computer from a remote location. For more information, see
Chapter 7.
Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server
In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop computer, you can send and
receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a modem or network card
connected to your device. You’ll need to set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a
connection to your e-mail server. For more information, see Chapter 7.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder,
messages in the device Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted on the e-mail
server are removed from the device Inbox.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server rather
than your desktop computer. When you delete a message on your device, it’s also deleted from
the e-mail server the next time you connect.
You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages while
connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap
Send
, which saves space on
your device.
When working offline, once you’ve downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you
can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide which messages to download completely.
The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete messages you’ve marked for retrieval
and sends the messages
you’ve composed.
Using the Message List
Messages you receive are displayed in the message list. By default, the most recently received
messages are displayed first in the list.
