time you retrieve email. If the box is
unchecked, messages are retrieved
according to the option you select in the
Get pick list.

Unread messages (IMAP accounts
only):
Downloads only unread mail to
your Treo 680. If you don’t check this
box and you select Get & Send, all the
messages on your mail server are
downloaded to your Inbox, including
messages you’ve read.

retrieval of unread mail only from the server. If
you have a POP email account, VersaMail
downloads all messages regardless of
whether you have read them, and regardless
of whether the Unread messages box is
checked.
