70 Scheduling and Communicating
Connecting Directly to an E-Mail Server
In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your computer, you can
send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a
modem or network card connected to your device. You need to set up a
remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail
server. For more information, see "Getting Connected" on page 99.
When you connect to the e-mail server:
• New messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder.
• Messages in the device Outbox folder are sent.
• Messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from
the device Inbox folder.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-
mail server rather than to your computer. When you delete a message on
your device, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you
connect depending on the settings you selected in ActiveSync.
When you are working online, you read and respond to messages while
connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send,
which saves space on your device.
After you have downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you
can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide which messages to
download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the
messages you have marked for retrieval and sends the messages you have
composed.
Using the Message List
Messages you receive are displayed in the message list. By default, the most
recently received messages are displayed first in the list.
When you receive a message, tap to open it. Unread messages are displayed
in bold.
