Introduction; Setting Up Mail On The Desktop - Symbol SPT 1700 Series Product Reference Manual

Introduction

The Mail application enables you to manage your e-mail while away from your desk. Mail
synchronizes the mail in your desktop e-mail application with the mail on your SPT 1700
terminal.
For example, if you delete messages from your SPT Mail, your next HotSync
deletes the messages from your desktop e-mail application — so you never have to delete
messages twice. Similarly, if you read a message on your SPT 1700 terminal and leave it in
your inbox, your next HotSync operation marks it as read on your desktop e-mail.
With Mail, you can:
Use your SPT 1700 terminal to send and/or retrieve e-mail messages from your
!
desktop e-mail application.
View, delete, file and/or reply to incoming mail.
!
Create outgoing messages as well as drafts of messages that you can complete later.
!
Create simple or complex filters, which allow you to decide the type of e-mail that
!
your SPT 1700 terminal retrieves from your desktop e-mail application.
