5. Do one of the following:
To accept these mail options and begin using the VersaMail application, tap
Done. After you finish setting up a synchronize-only e-mail account, you
need to configure this account on your desktop. See “Configuring an account
in HotSync Manager” in Chapter 4 for information. You will not be able to
synchronize e-mail between your handheld and your desktop until you
configure the account on your desktop.
To set up additional mail options, tap Next. Continue with the next set of
procedures.
Setting mail retrieval options for a POP or IMAP account
The next VersaMail Setup screen displays different options, depending on whether
your mail service uses a POP or an IMAP protocol.
To set mail retrieval server options for a POP or IMAP account:
1. (Optional) Select any of the following:
Get unread mail
NOTE
The POP protocol does not support retrieval of unread
mail only from the server. If you have a POP e-mail account,
the VersaMail application downloads all messages from the
server regardless of whether you have read them (for
example, on your desktop or on the web), and regardless of
whether this check box is selected.
For IMAP accounts, select Get unread mail ONLY to
download only unread mail to your handheld. If you don’t
choose this option and you tap Get & Send, all your e-mail
messages on your provider’s mail server are downloaded to
your Inbox, including messages you have already read. To
get all mail (including mail you have already read) and not
just unread mail, deselect Get unread mail ONLY.
Delete messages
on server
To delete messages on your provider’s mail server when
they are deleted in the VersaMail application, select the
Delete messages on the server when they are deleted in
VersaMail check box.
