Chapter 7 Email

With the Email function supplied with your phone, you can not only send and receive mails sup-
ported by general WAP sites, but can also enjoy the support for common mail servers, such as
POP3 and IMAP. The super large touch screen and other PDA functionalities even facilitate you
convenient mail operations.
There are some basics that you have to understand before utilizing the Email function.
Mailbox: First access a website and apply a mailbox for yourself. The mailbox is just the one
referred to as "Mailbox" in the manual. Instead of residing in your phone, the mailbox is
hosted in your network operator's computer system, or the so-called mail server(s).
Whenever you send or receive a mail, the mail server(s) transfers it.
Mail Server: A mail server is a computer system of a network operator who delivers you mail
service. For the name, contact your network operator who offers you the serv-
ice. There are two common mail server types:
POP3: A POP3 mail server receives mails for you. Whenever you access the network
and log in your mailbox, your phone automatically downloads new mails from
the POP3 server to the local Inbox of the phone. Any such mail will be deleted
on the mail server when completely downloaded. If you would rather keep the-
ses mails on the server, you should go to "Email Setup" | "Receive Setup" and
check the "Keep on Server" option.

IMAP: As a mail server developed after POP3, the IMAP features on allowing client mail
systems to get access to and manage mails and mailboxes on the server.
Tips
For your specific mailbox type, contact your mail network operator.
Username: On applying an email box, you are required to specify a username. The server will
reference the username for authentication when you attempt to log in the mailbox.
Password: On applying a mailbox, you are required to specify a password. When you attempt
to log in a mailbox, your mail server will check your username and password to verify
whether you are the only valid owner of the mailbox.
Note
The username and password described herein are used to authenticate you as the
valid owner of a mailbox when you attempt to access the mailbox. They are differ-
ent from those you offer to access Internet, which are used to authenticate you for
Internet access.
Email Address: Your email address is your address on the Internet where you receive emails.
All mails for you will be delivered to your mailbox equipped with the address.
You are assigned with an email address when applying for a mailbox and can-
not make any change of it once it is created.
Tips
You have to connect your phone to the Internet before you may enjoy the email
function.
