Write and send messages

Select Menu > Messaging.

Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. Messages may contain

malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
Before you can create a multimedia message or write an e-mail, you must have the

correct connection settings defined.
The wireless network may limit the size of MMS messages. If the inserted picture exceeds

this limit the device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by MMS.
Check the size limit of e-mail messages with your service provider. If you attempt to

send an e-mail message that exceeds the size limit of the e-mail server, the message is

left in the Outbox folder, and the device attempts to resend it periodically. Sending an

e-mail requires a data connection, and continuous attempts to resend the e-mail may

incur charges from your service provider. In the Outbox folder, you can delete such a

message or move it to the Drafts folder.
