E-Mail; P800 E-Mail Features - Sony Ericsson WHITE PAPER P800 White Paper

Message conversion
The MMS-C is able to perform limited message conversion - for example, from MMS to SMS – so
that processing and air time is not wasted in sending messages to mobile terminals that do not
have adequate capability to receive them. It also handles service aspects such as store and
forward, guaranteed delivery, subscriber preferences, operator constraints, and billing
information. The MMS-C also vouches for high quality messaging, e.g. by format conversion. This
means that the MMS-C recognizes which formats are supported in the mobile phone, and adapts
the MMS messages to these formats. The WAP User Agent Profile (UAProf) is used to
communicate the handset's capabilities to the MMS server. These features depend on the
configuration of the MMS servers and will therefore be operator-dependent.
OTA configuration
Users can easily get MMS into their phone. MMS is configurable via OTA, meaning that the user
does not have to configure the settings manually. The configuration is done by the operator.

collected and presented in the Inbox. Controls are provided to filter messages based on size,
