Chapter 3 Getting, Sending, and Managing E-mail

Send retry
When you tap Send on the message menu, the VersaMail application automatically
attempts to send the message. If the send attempt fails for any reason (for example,
your handheld is out of range, or the application cannot connect to the mail server),
you can choose to have the application move the message to the Outbox and
continue to try to send the message at 30-minute intervals, a maximum of three
times.
If you put a message in the Outbox, you must perform a manual send to send the
message on the first attempt. The VersaMail application attempts automatic send
retry only after a manual send attempt fails.
NOTE
Automatic send retry occurs only if you tap Send to send the message
manually. It does not work if you tap Get & Send.
To select automatic send retry:
■ Tap Yes in the dialog box notifying you that manual send has failed.
If automatic send retry succeeds on any attempt, the message is moved to the
Sent folder.
NOTE
Automatic send retry of e-mail is not supported for VPN or SSL connections,
or for accounts for which your ISP requires you to log in to the mail server before
sending mail. It is also not supported if you have configured the security preferences
on your handheld to encrypt databases on the handheld.
