A list of your e-mail appears in the Inbox.
Push mail with notification
The VersaMail application features push e-mail. E-mail messages received into a
given e-mail account are pushed to your handheld, so that they are ready for you to
read them. Your handheld notifies you of new messages by blinking an indicator
light, beeping, or vibrating. The handheld also displays a visual list of
notifications, called the Attention Manager.
Receiving e-mail notification
When a new message arrives in your account, by default your handheld beeps and
notifies you of the new e-mail’s arrival. The beep or alert sound your hear is called
a notification. Your handheld also notifies you of a new message’s arrival by
blinking an indicator light or vibrating if the right preferences are turned on. For
more information, see “Making your handheld buzz or blink when you get new
e-mail” later in this chapter.
NOTE The Notification option is turned on by default. If the handheld does not notify
you when new messages are received, check whether the Notification option is
turned on. See “Setting notification options” later in this chapter for more
information.
Viewing and using the Attention Manager
The handheld also displays an Attention Manager that shows summary
information about new e-mail messages and alerts from other applications, such as
alerts to remind you of Date Book appointments.
