Choosing Your E-Mail - Sierra Wireless Voq Quick Reference

Voq User Guide
The Voq phone supports a full range of e-mail and
messaging programs including e-mail Inbox, Text
Messaging, Multimedia Messaging Service, and Instant
Messaging.

Choosing your e-mail

Your phone arrives with a general messaging program
called Inbox already installed. Within Inbox, you can set
up several different accounts:
•
VoqMail Personal Edition
•
VoqMail Professional Edition
•
ActiveSync
•
IMAP4
•
POP3
You must choose one of these methods to handle your
mail and then configure the account. Your choice will
depend on the type of e-mail server your service
provider or corporate e-mail system uses. A key
question you should answer is, "Does my service
provider support IMAP4 or POP3 only?"
•
If your e-mail server supports the IMAP4 protocol,
we recommend you use VoqMail or VoqMail Pro
because it was specially designed and optimized
for the Voq phone and uses substantially less
bandwidth than other types of e-mail. See
"Setting up a VoqMail account" on page

•
If your e-mail server supports only the POP3
protocol, you must use Inbox POP3. See
up a POP3 account" on page
Working with multiple accounts
You can configure and use up to eight different
messaging accounts. All accounts are stored in the
Inbox program. For example, you can have a separate
account for:
•
Home e-mail (e.g. myname@myprovider.com)
•
Work e-mail (e.g. myname@mywork.com)
•
Internet e-mail (e.g. myname@hotmail.com)
•
SMS (e.g. myname@myprovider.com)
Each account has its own separate set of message
folders: Drafts, Inbox, Outbox, Sent.
About "Inbox"

on where it appears on your phone:
•

the Start menu that contains all your messaging
accounts such as VoqMail, ActiveSync, and SMS.
