ZireTM 72 Handheld 327 CHAPTER 18 Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages Resource issues with auto get mail The auto get mail feature can cause the following resource constraints: Decreased battery life If you set the auto get interval for more often than once per hour, your handheld's battery charge may drain more quickly, and you may need to recharge the battery more frequently. Increased monthly charges Some wireless providers, such as Cingular or T-Mobile, charge a fee for data transactions. If you use one of these providers, using the auto get feature can substantially add to your monthly charges. This is especially true for POP accounts, because POP messages take longer to download than IMAP messages. If you primarily retrieve messages over your company's network (Bluetooth or 802. 11b network), monthly charges should not be an issue. To help with these concerns, set your interval for e-mail auto get to retrieve messages no more frequently than once per hour.

This means that any email messages sent as HTML are displayed on your handheld with basic HTML formatting intact, including the following: · Boldface · Italics · Underlining · Colored words · Bullet lists · Numbered lists · Line breaks For certain types of graphics (for example, JPEG or GIF files), the graphic may be displayed as a URL in the body of the e-mail message. In some cases, you can tap the URL to open the graphic. Messages sent as plain text are displayed as plain text only, and any text stripped of its HTML formatting is displayed as plain text as well. You can set the application to receive all messages as plain text only, regardless of the format in which they were sent. [. . . ] Any electronic device that contains an external entry point for plugging in anything from cables to docking stations is susceptible to entry of ESD. Devices that you carry with you, such as your handheld, build up ESD in a unique way because the static electricity that may have built up on your body is automatically passed to the device. Then, when the device is connected to another device such as a docking station, a discharge event can occur. Precautions against ESD Make sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from yourself and your electronic devices before touching an electronic device or connecting one device to another. The recommendation from palmOne is that you take this precaution before connecting your handheld to your computer, placing the handheld in a cradle, or connecting it to any other device. [. . . ]
