4 24 Messaging Chapter 4 Messaging ENWW
Understanding Messaging To send and receive e-mail messages for an e-mail account that you have with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or that you access using a VPN server connection (typically a work account), you need to connect to the Internet or a corporate network, depending on the account. You can send and receive Outlook e-mail and Internet e-mail through an Internet Service Provider (ISP). You can also access e-mail from work using a VPN connection.
Using Folders Each Messaging account has its own set of folders with five default Messaging folders: ● Inbox ● Outbox ● Deleted Items ● Drafts ● Sent Items The messages you receive and send through the account are stored in these folders. You can also create additional folders within each account. The way folders work vary by type: 26 ● If you use an Outlook e-mail account, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are synchronized automatically with the HP iPAQ.
Synchronizing E-mail When you synchronize Outlook e-mail on a personal computer with the HP iPAQ, e-mail messages are synchronized as follows: ● Messages in the Inbox folder on the personal computer or Exchange Server are copied to the Inbox folder of the Outlook e-mail account on the HP iPAQ. ● Messages in the Outbox folder on the HP iPAQ are transferred to Exchange Server or Outlook and then sent from those programs.
Setting Up Messaging Accounts Receiving Attachments An attachment sent with an e-mail message or downloaded from the server appears below the subject of the message. Tapping the attachment opens the attachment if it has been fully downloaded or marks it for download the next time you send and receive e-mail. You can also download attachments automatically with messages if you have an Outlook e-mail or IMAP4 e-mail account. If you have an Outlook e-mail account, do the following: 1.
If the server is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 or later, meeting requests are automatically received in your Inbox. However, to receive meeting requests on Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5, do the following: ● Ask your system administrator to activate Rich Text Format (RTF) and Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF) support for your account.
Using Messaging Composing and Sending Messages 1. In the message list, tap Menu > Switch Accounts and select the account. 2. Tap New. 3. Enter the e-mail address or text message address of one or more recipients, separating them with a semicolon. To access addresses and phone numbers from Contacts, tap To. 4. Enter a message. To quickly add common messages, tap Menu > My Text and tap a desired message. 5. To check the spelling, tap Menu > Spell Check. 6. Tap Send.
Tip By default, messages you send are not saved on the HP iPAQ to help conserve memory. If you want to keep copies of sent messages, in the messaging list, tap Menu > Tools > Options > Message tab, and select the Keep copies of sent items in Sent folder check box. If your account is an Outlook E-mail or IMAP4 account, you must also select the Sent Items folder for synchronization. To do this, tap Menu > Tools > Manage Folders and select the check box next to the folder.
Tip To delete a service, tap and hold the service, and tap Delete. While synchronizing your Outlook E-mail account, disable any directory services you have installed by clearing the Check name against this server check box. This helps avoid getting error messages when Messaging tries to verify names against the service that you are not connected to.
