You can work with e-mail messages 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, you can disconnect from the e-mail server, review the
message headers or messages that you downloaded, and then decide which
messages you want to download completely. The next time you connect,
Inbox downloads the complete messages you have marked for retrieval and
sends the messages you have composed. Working offline reduces the time
you are connected and can save money, especially if you are dialing long
distance.
To retrieve messages from an e-mail account, you must set up a service for
that account. The service includes your account information, message delivery
options, and a link to a dial-up or network connection.
