Setting up and managing e-mail accounts

3.

Enter the name of your outgoing (SMTP) mail server, such as
smtp.mail.yahoo.com.

If the VersaMail application knows the outgoing mail server name based on the
mail service you selected, the correct server name is displayed.

4.

Tap Next.

5.

Do one of the following:

– To accept these mail options and begin using the VersaMail application, tap

Done. This takes you to the Inbox of the account you set up. See

“Getting,

sending, and managing e-mail”

later in this chapter for information on

getting and sending e-mail.

– 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 of 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.
