Your 388 has an email function, which not only enables you to receive WAP
mail, but also POP3, SMTP, and IMAP email as well. Since most of the email
on the Internet is using these formats, your 388, provides you with the email
functionality of most computer systems.
With its large touch screen, your handset makes sending and receiving
messages by Email simple and convenient. You can also attach Notes, or
Contact information to be sent via email to a peer 388 device.
Before using the Email function, you should familiarise yourself with the
following information and terminology:
Mail Box:
You will need to subscribe to your Internet Service provider for a paid Email
account. This will ensure that you have the reliability, and capacity to deal
with your messages. This type of Mailbox is described later on in this section
and in Systems Setup.
It works like your mailbox at your home, you can open it, lock it, receive and
send mails. The difference is, that the mailbox is the server located with your
email service provider. This server will handle all the emails that you want to
send and receive. There is no need for you to worry about losing your emails
because new incoming emails will be saved in the email server.
Server:
The server is a computer located at your Internet Service Provider. You will
need to contact your Service Provider to obtain the name of the Email
server. Its name will be the same as the server name mentioned in the Email
setup section.
Server Type:
There are 3 types of email server:
POP3:
This is mainly used for receiving emails. Once you are connected to
the net and logged in to your mailbox, the POP3 server can
download all of your new incoming emails to your Inbox folder. It
will delete the emails on the server that you have successfully
downloaded to your phone. If you want to keep email on the
server, you can do so by specifying this when you set up your
email mailbox.
