Getting, sending, and managing e-mail
197
During automatic send retry, any message that the VersaMail application is
attempting to send is in a locked state and cannot be edited, moved, or deleted. If
you try to modify a message in the locked state, an error message appears.
If a send retry fails after the third attempt, the message is stored in the Outbox in
the error state. You can send the message again manually, or edit, move, or delete
the message. However, if you edit the message, you will need to perform a manual
send in order to send the message. If the manual send fails, the message will be
stored in the Outbox to await the next automatic send retry.
See the following section “Outbox icons in the VersaMail applications” for icons
that indicate messages awaiting the next automatic send retry as well as messages
in the locked and error state.
Outbox icons in the VersaMail applications
The icons to the left of a message in the Outbox indicate the message’s status.
Completing drafts
If you are composing an e-mail message and you exit the VersaMail application
before tapping Outbox, Send, or Cancel, the e-mail automatically moves to the
Drafts folder. To finish editing the e-mail, tap the folders pick list and select Drafts.
Select the e-mail you want to complete or edit, and tap Edit. You can also delete the
e-mail in the Drafts folder.
Attaching a personal signature
You can include a personal signature, such as your name, e-mail address, and
telephone number, with each e-mail you send.
