E-mail

Send and receive e-mail messages by:

• synchronizing with Microsoft

Exchange or Microsoft

Outlook on

your desktop computer by cradle, infrared, or Bluetooth™.

• connecting directly with your Microsoft

Exchange/Outlook or

POP3/IMAP service using GPRS (contact your system
administrator, phone operator, or network provider for more
details).

Synchronizing e-mail messages

Once ActiveSync

has been installed on your desktop computer you

can link your desktop computer to your P505 using the cradle. You
can also use infrared or Bluetooth™, if your computer has these
capabilities. Each time you connect, the P505 and computer compare
e-mail content and synchronize, so you have the same information on
each device.

During synchronization:

• Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook

on your desktop computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on
your device. By default, you will receive messages from the past
five days only, the first 100 lines of each message, and file
attachments of less than 100 KB in size.

• E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your device are

transferred to Exchange or Outlook, then sent by the computer.

• E-mail messages in subfolder must be selected in ActiveSync on

your desktop computer in order to be transferred.

You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your desktop
computer from a remote location. Refer to the ActiveSync
help file.

You can change how messages are transferred, for example, transfer
all content or download messages from subfolders by changing the
appropriate settings in ActiveSync

on your desktop computer.

Connecting directly to an e-mail server

To send and receive messages using GPRS, you need to set up a
connection to the network and your e-mail or Internet service provider.
