8 Messaging
To send and receive e-mail messages using an e-mail account, you need to connect to the Internet
using GPRS or your corporate network.
You can send and receive messages in a variety of formats:
●
Microsoft
®
Office Outlook
®
Mobile e-mail
●
Internet e-mail
●
Text/MMS messages
You can also access e-mail from your workplace through a VPN connection. For more information, see
Set up a VPN server connection on page 76.
E-mail in the Outlook e-mail account is sent and received through synchronization with a computer using
any synchronizing software or through wireless synchronization directly with an Exchange Server. For
more information, see
Synchronization on page 77.
Internet e-mail is sent and received by connecting to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) or Internet
Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) e-mail server. You require Internet access from a GSM, GPRS,
EDGE, or 3G carrier to connect to a POP3 or IMAP4 Server. You can connect to the Internet using
Wi-Fi, a computer, or a Bluetooth device. To connect to the Internet through your HP iPAQ, use a
data-enabled cell phone.
Text messages are sent and received through your wireless service provider using a phone number as
the message address.
Identify the folder types
Each messaging account has a 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 for each account.
The way folders work varies by type:
●
If you use an Outlook e-mail account, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are
synchronized with your HP iPAQ automatically. Select additional folders for synchronization by
assigning them designations. The folders you create and the messages you move are then mirrored
on the e-mail server.
●
If you use an MMS account or a text message account, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.
●
If you use a POP3 account and move your e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link breaks
between the messages on the HP iPAQ and their copies on the e-mail server. When you connect,
