Understanding Messaging Types
The Smartphone supports e-mail messaging, text messaging (SMS), media messaging
(MMS), and instant messaging. You can work with e-mail, text messages, and media
messages from Messaging. You can use instant messaging features from MSN Messenger.
Configuring and using these features is described later in this chapter.
E-mail Messaging
There are three ways to send and receive e-mail messages with the Smartphone:
By synchronizing your Outlook E-mail Inbox folder with Microsoft® Outlook® on your
desktop computer or your Microsoft® Exchange server.
By connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail server to send and receive Internet e-mail
messages.
Use Pocket Internet Explorer to view Web-based e-mail.
Text Messaging (SMS)
You can send and receive text messages up to 160 characters in size. If a text message is
longer, it is automatically sent in chunks as several small text messages, and is then unified as
one text message after all of the small text messages have been received.
The advantages of text messages include the following:
Text messages are sent instantly.
Text messages can be sent or received at any time, including during a voice or data call.
Most mobile phones support text messages, so most recipients can read text messages that
you send.

You cannot synchronize text messages with your desktop computer, and you
cannot use text messages to send or receive attachments or voice notes.
