Email is an essential tool for today's world. It has a lot of advantages over other communication
methods. In a split second the email you send will reach the other party without worrying about
geographic or other limitations. In the form of attachments, you can send a text message or an
inkpad image, document together with your email.
Your A008 has an email function, which not only enables you to receive WAP mail, but also POP3,
SMTP, and IMAP email as well. Since most of the email on the Internet is using these formats, your
A008, provides you with the email functionality of most computer systems.
With its large touch screen, your handset makes sending and receiving messages by Email simple
and convenient. You can also attach Notes, Inkpad drawings or Contact information to be sent via
email to a peer A008 device.
Before using the Email function, you should familiarise yourself with the following information and
terminology:
Mail Box:
You will need to subscribe to your Internet Service provider for a paid Email account. This will
ensure that you have the reliability, and capacity to deal with your messages. This type of Mailbox
is described later on in this section and in Systems Setup.
It works like your mailbox at your home, you can open it, lock it, receive and send mails. The
difference is, that the mailbox is the server located with your email service provider. This server will
handle all the emails that you want to send and receive. There is no need for you to worry about
losing your emails because new incoming emails will be saved in the email server.
Server:
The server is a computer located at your Internet Service Provider. You will need to contact your
Service Provider to obtain the name of the Email server. Its name will be the same as the server
name mentioned in the Email setup section.
Server Type:
There are 3 types of email server:
POP3:
This is mainly used for receiving emails. Once you are connected to the net and logged in
to your mailbox, the POP3 server can download all of your new incoming emails to your
Inbox folder. It will delete the emails on the server that you have successfully downloaded
to your phone. If you want to keep email on the server, you can do so by specifying this
when you set up your email mailbox.
SMTP:
This is mainly used for sending emails. All successfully sent email will be moved to your
Sent folder. In addition, every time you connect to the net and log in to your mailbox,
email residing in your Outbox will automatically be delivered out through the server.
