available on the remote e-mail server. Mail messages can be cleared using the Tools > Message storage menu

command in the Messaging application. Select to delete either all mail messages, or mail messages older than 1 day, 1
week, 2 weeks, or 1 month, and press the Delete now button to clear these messages. Cleared mail messages can be

downloaded again from the remote mail server when necessary. Note that clearing does not delete faxes or short
messages.

The communicator’s e-mail client also supports HTML messages. This means that new e-mail messages may contain
Web-like formatted text, and received messages may also contain inline images and links to other Web pages.

Read receipts may be requested when sending e-mail, and the communicator e-mail client can also generate
responses to read receipt requests included in received e-mail. Read receipts are automatic responses that are sent to
the sender of an e-mail message and they indicate when the recipients have opened the message. Read receipts are
implemented using "Disposition-Notification-To" headers (as specified in RFC 2298). Note that not all e-mail clients
generate read receipts, so requested read receipts may not arrive because recipients read their e-mail with e-mail
clients that do not support or do not generate message disposition notifications. Also, automatic generation of read
receipt responses may be turned off in the Nokia 9290 Communicator if read receipts are considered unnecessary.

3. Configuring the Communicator E-Mail Client

Configuring the Nokia 9290 Communicator for remote e-mail access is a similar procedure to configuring a laptop
computer to use the Netscape Messenger e-mail client, for example.

Important information that must be filled in when defining a new e-mail account includes the following:

host name to receive mail (IMAP4 or POP3 e-mail server)

host name to send mail (SMTP server)

mailbox type (which protocol to use, either POP3 or IMAP4)

user name (case sensitive)

password (case sensitive, displayed using * characters)

dial-in access point for the mail service

use of a secure connection (that is, it requires SSL/TLS encryption to be used)

A dial-in access point is defined in the Control panel application. For more information about setting up network
connections in the Nokia 9290 Communicator, see the

Nokia 9290 Communicator Internet Communications Guide

New e-mail accounts are defined using the Tools > Account settings… menu command in the Messaging application
as shown in Figure 2. Select the Account settings… menu item and press the Select command button (or just press

Enter) to begin to create a new e-mail account.
