Setting up and managing e-mail accounts
193
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.
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.
Leave mail on
server (POP
account only)
To get e-mail on your handheld but also leave it on the server
so you can view it later on your desktop, select the Leave
mail on server check box. For example, if you create an
account to receive e-mail from your Yahoo account and select
this option, your old Yahoo e-mail is still visible the next time
you visit Yahoo.com to access your Yahoo e-mail Inbox.
Port Number
The port number setting defaults to 110 for POP and to 143
for IMAP servers, respectively. You may need to change the
port number if you choose to retrieve incoming mail over a
secure connection (see the next bullet item). If you are not
sure about the correct port number, check with your mail
server administrator.
Use Secure
Connection
To retrieve incoming mail over a secure (Secure Sockets
Layer, or SSL) connection, select the Use Secure Connection
check box. See
“Using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)”
this chapter for information on SSL.
Maximum
Message Size
To limit the maximum size of an incoming e-mail message,
enter the size in kilobytes (KB) for Maximum Message Size.
The maximum size of an incoming message is 5KB by
default, but you can enter a smaller size. The maximum
message size that you can retrieve is 60KB for the body text
and 2MB total, including attachments.
