8.1 E-mail Messages
You can receive E-mail and text messages in Messaging .
E-mail messages are sent by using an address you receive
from your Internet service provider (ISP) , an E-mail service
provider, or your employer. Text messages are sent and re-
ceived through your phone service provider by using a phone
number as the message address.
You can also send and receive E-mail by synchronizing with
your PC, or by connecting to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3)
or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server.
You need to set up an E-mail account for each method that
you use except for an Outlook E-mail account, which is set
up by default. The Outlook E-mail account on your T-Mobile
MDA III is used to store messages that you send and receive
through synchronization with a PC. Account names appear
when you open the folder list, which is located on the left,
under the navigation bar, in the message list view.
How you download copies of messages depends on how you
are receiving messages:
n If you receive E-mail messages through a remote E-mail
server, follow the instruction as described on page 135,
" Downloading messages from a server. "
n If you receive E-mail messages through ActiveSync , begin
synchronization. See ActiveSync Inbox in Chapter 4 .
n Text messages are automatically received when your phone
is turned on. Otherwise, messages are held by your service
provider until the next time your phone is turned on.
With synchronization, messages are synchronized between
the T-Mobile MDA III Inbox folder for the Outlook E-mail ac-
count and the PC Inbox by using ActiveSync and Microsoft
Exchange or Microsoft Outlook . For more information, see
Chapter 4 .
Setting up an E-mail account:
Open Messaging on your T-Mobile MDA III by tapping
> Messaging > tap Accounts > New Account . The E-mail
Setup wizard will prompt you to fill in the necessary informa-
tion to complete the setup.
