Resource issues with auto get mail
If you use the auto get mail feature, you should be aware of the following potential
resource constraints:
Decreased battery
life
Increased monthly
charges
To minimize resource concerns, set your interval for auto get mail to no more
frequently than once per hour.

Reading e-mail

To read e-mail, tap the e-mail message in the Inbox or the folder where the message
is located.
If you set the auto get interval for more frequently than once per
hour, you may drain your handheld's battery charge more
quickly, and thus need to recharge the battery more frequently.
If your e-mail service provider is a wireless provider such as
Cingular or T-Mobile that charges a fee for data transactions,
using the auto get feature can substantially add to your
monthly charges. This issue is especially noticeable for
POP accounts, because the size of the IDs used to locate
POP account messages is much larger (and thus POP messages
take longer to download) than for IMAP accounts.
If you primarily retrieve messages over your company's
NOTE
network, monthly charges should not be an issue.
