TIP

You can also tap Drafts to save this message in the Drafts folder rather

than send it.

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.

If automatic send retry succeeds on any attempt, the message is moved to the Sent
folder.

NOTE

Automatic send retry occurs only if you tap Send to send the message

manually. It does not work if you tap Get & Send.

Send

Sends the e-mail immediately.

Outbox

Stores e-mail in the Outbox so you can compose e-mail offline
and then send all e-mail during one connection with the
server. To send your e-mail later, tap Get & Send. A connection
is made to the mail server, and all the e-mail in the Outbox is
delivered.
