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
If you set the auto get mail interval for more frequently than once per hour, an alert
message appears.
To minimize resource concerns, set your interval for e-mail auto get to no more
frequently than once per hour.

The icons to the left of a message in the Inbox indicate the message's status.
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 (Bluetooth or 802.11b network), monthly charges should
not be an issue.
