Service types—Your network may use POP3 or IMAP4
protocol for receiving mail. In addition, some networks use
SMTP for sending messages. Refer to your network adminis-
trator to find out if this applies to your configuration.
Settings—You can choose a variety of E-mail service set-
tings. If your mail server supports MIME formatting (Multi-
purpose Internet Mail Extensions) encoding (POP3 servers
only), you can select an option to allow binary files to be sent
as attachments to e-mail messages. You can also set e-mail
services to:
•
Disconnect after actions are performed
•
Check for new mail at specified intervals
•
Display a message or sound an alarm when new mail
arrives
•
Only display messages from a specified number of recent
days
•
Download only message headers (you can review headers
and decide whether to download message bodies the next
time you connect)
•
Download full copies of all messages (you can review
messages and decide whether to download attachments
the next time you connect)
The default options offer the settings used by many service providers. If you are not sure,
or you do not have guidance from your network administrator, try the default settings.
