Guest serena-i Posted January 7, 2003 Report Posted January 7, 2003 Hi there! I love this phone but I'm still trying to find out how to send and receive emails from the SPV itself ! I can see the option there when I go to my INBOX (email, SMS) and click MENU, but as it's not highlighted I cannot do anything! How do I set up the email account? I thought I did this already when I synchronised my Outlook with SPV! If anyone understands what I'm on about, please let me know! :? :roll: :wink:
Guest spacemonkey Posted January 7, 2003 Report Posted January 7, 2003 At the moment it will be syncing with Outlook. This means when you dock it will copy any emails you've written on the phone to outlook and send them from there and copy any emails outlook has received to the phone. If you want to email direct from the phone then you need to configure active sync to not sync emails with outlook Then on the phone in the mail program in menu-options under email setting put in all the appropriate details of a Pop server etc that you have for your email account and it should then email through GPRS.
Guest Danlance Posted January 7, 2003 Report Posted January 7, 2003 Yeah Load Messaging App Menu > Options Email Set-up enter details for your email servers (you'll need to use smtp.orange.net as outgoing if you are using GPRS) I have a feeling that if you syncronise email using outlook, it stops remote mail access - but someone else would have a better idea on that one, as i have never tried...
Guest serena-i Posted January 7, 2003 Report Posted January 7, 2003 Thanks for the replies! I will try that and see what happens! Will it use a lot of Mb to download emails (TEXT mainly)?
Guest spacemonkey Posted January 7, 2003 Report Posted January 7, 2003 Nah. if it's just text then a single email should only use like 2-5kb depending on size. It'll only eat your GPRS if you're getting large attachments but I think you have the option of not downloading attachments... not to sure about that though.
Guest hex Posted January 7, 2003 Report Posted January 7, 2003 Following on from this subject, does anyone know if messages are deleted from the server when they are downloaded on the phone. If so, is there an option to turn this off?
Guest HelloDave Posted January 7, 2003 Report Posted January 7, 2003 They weren't deleted for me when the SPV checked my e-mails; it just downloaded the header and the first xK of the message. Pretty sure it didn't delete messages even if you chose "Mark for Download" and downloaded them.
Guest jmechan Posted January 8, 2003 Report Posted January 8, 2003 They are deleted from the server when you delete them from your inbox on the phone. I think. :roll:
Guest zenabi Posted January 8, 2003 Report Posted January 8, 2003 hex, emails are kept on the server when they are downloaded to the SPV, but if you delete them and run Send/Receive again, they will be removed from the server too. I believe if you delete emails on the SPV and empty the Deleted Items folder before you Send/Receive then your emails will NOT be removed from the server. Please correct me if I'm wrong on this one.
Guest Sculli Posted January 8, 2003 Report Posted January 8, 2003 I use Freeserve as my mail server and don't sync my mails through the PC (or it all becomes complicated!).... When I delete the e-mails from my phone, they seem to stay on the server and get downloaded to my PC when I get home, which is incredibly handy because I can use the phone to see if I have anything worth reading / replying to. As for cost.... the jury seems to be out at the moment but it shouldn't be much. My phone is configured to only download the first 1k of the message which should be enough to decide whether to download. Magic really!
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted January 8, 2003 Report Posted January 8, 2003 i have 3 devices checking one account now (desktop/laptop/spv) :/ all set to leave copies of messages on the pop3 server. my spv is set to get headers only which is like 2-3k/message. good enough for me.
Guest serena-i Posted January 8, 2003 Report Posted January 8, 2003 YES IT'S WORKING!!!!! I can now send and receive emails from the phone! I have set a max of 1000 bytes as advised above...That should be plenty for text emails anyway! I have unticked the INBOX option in the active synch choice. Is that all I have to do to remove Outlook synch? I don't mind the CONTACTS, CALENDAR, etc... Forgive me if I'm asking stupid questions...Ehi I'm a woman after all!!!! ;-)
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted January 8, 2003 Report Posted January 8, 2003 that should be fine, same configuration as mine i believe
Guest cookan Posted January 9, 2003 Report Posted January 9, 2003 cool...using smtp.orange.net sorted out my sending email trouble cheers !
