CHAPTER 16 Sending and Receiving Email Messages
Auto Sync with notification
Some email service providers, such as CompuServe and AOL, do not support the
Auto Sync feature. Check with your provider to see if Auto Sync is supported.
You can set up the VersaMail application to automatically download new email messages to your
handheld with the Auto Sync feature.
If Auto Sync downloads any new messages, your handheld lets you know with a sound or
vibration. A list with the number of new messages retrieved appears on the Reminders screen.
The Auto Sync feature downloads only the first 3KB of each message. You can select the More
button on the message screen to download the entire message.
Auto Sync recognizes any filter criteria
you set up for downloading messages. Messages that
don’t meet these filter criteria are not downloaded during Auto Sync. You need to turn off all
filters and manually retrieve these messages.
See Working with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
for special considerations when
using Auto Sync with a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account to synchronize email and
Calendar information with info in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003.
Scheduling Auto Sync
You can set up different schedules for each of your email accounts, but you can set up only one
schedule for each account. For example, if you set up a schedule to get mail on weekdays for
your Yahoo! account, you can’t set up a separate schedule for weekends for that account.
Auto Sync may not work with your specific VPN connection
. It also doesn’t work if your security
preferences include encrypting databases on your handheld.
NOTE
NOTE
Did You Know?
If more than one
scheduled Auto Sync
happens at the same time
(for example, for two
separate email accounts),
Auto Sync performs any
past-due Auto Sync first,
and then performs
current Auto Sync
retrievals according to
the order of email
accounts in the Accounts
menu list.
