5.19 Messaging
The Messaging program is used to send and receive e-mail on your Ikôn. To send and
receive e-mail, you’ll need to synchronize your PC or connect to a Post Office Protocol 3
(POP3) or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server.
For each of these methods, you need to set up an e-mail account with one exception –
Outlook e-mail accounts are set up by default.
5.19.1 Folders
If you use an Outlook e-mail account, messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are automat-
ically synchronized with your Ikôn. You can use ActiveSync on your PC to synchronize
additional folders. The folders and messages you move are mirrored on the server.
For POP3 accounts, if you move e-mail messages to a folder you create, the link between
the messages on the Ikôn and the copies on the mail server are broken. When you next con-
nect, the mail server will recognize that the messages are missing from the Ikôn Inbox folder
and delete them from the server, preventing duplication of messages. Keep in mind however
that you will not have further access to messages that you moved to folders from anywhere
except with the Ikôn.
For IMAP4 accounts, the folders you create and the messages you move are reflected on the
server, making messages available any time whether you connect to your mail server from
your Ikôn or your PC.
5.19.2 Synchronizing E-mail With Outlook
By synchronizing the Ikôn Messaging program with Outlook on your PC, your e-mail is
available on both the Ikôn and on your PC.
Note: Messaging is available from the Start menu by default. If you prefer it only be
accessed from the Programs window, tap on Start>Settings, tap on the Menus icon
and uncheck Messaging.
Note: Synchronizing e-mail does not require that the Ikôn have an independent connection
to the Internet.
