Creating e-mail items

e-mail with your desktop E-mail application: you identify the 
recipient(s) of the e-mail item, define a subject, and create the body of 
the e-mail item.
You create original e-mail items and replies in the New Message 
screen. All e-mail items must, at the very least, contain information in 
the To: and Subj: fields.

Looking up an address
To identify the recipient of an e-mail item, you need to enter that 
person’s e-mail address. You can do this either by entering the data 
directly into the field or by using the Look Up command to access the 
information in your Address Book. 
To look up an e-mail address:
1. Tap either the To: or CC: field name to expand it.
2. Enter the first few letters of the last name of the person whose 
address you want to find. 
3. Tap Lookup. 
4. If the letters you enter identify a unique listing from your Address 
Book, your organizer completes the address for you. If not, the 
Lookup dialog box appears and lists all records that contain 
information in an E-mail field.
Tip:You can also open the Look Up dialog box in the New 
Message screen by tapping Lookup from the Options 
menu or by using the Graffiti
® Command stroke /L. 
5. Enter the first letter of the entry you want to find to scroll to the 
first entry that begins with that letter. If you write an additional 
letter, the list scrolls to the first entry that starts with those two 
letters. For example, writing an “s” scrolls to “Sanders,” and 
writing “sm” scrolls to “Smith.”
6. Tap an address to select it.
7. Tap Add.

Adding details to e-mail items
Before you send your e-mail item, you can attach additional attributes 
to it, such as a signature or a priority level. These features are 
dependent on the desktop E-mail application you use. If your 
application does not support the attribute you select, your organizer 
cannot attach that attribute to the e-mail item.
The following details are available:
Note:The Priority and BCC settings are valid only for the current 
e-mail item and must be set for each item you create. Priority
Flags an e-mail item as High, Normal, or Low 
priority.
BCC
Creates a blind carbon copy field in the New 
Message screen. 
Signature
Attaches previously defined text as the closing of an 
e-mail item. See “Adding a signature to your e-mail 
item” later in this chapter.
Confirm 
ReadRequests a confirmation telling you when the 
e-mail item was read.
Confirm 
DeliveryRequests a confirmation telling you when the 
e-mail item was delivered.

Adding a signature to your e-mail item
A signature consists of information about yourself that is appended to 
your e-mail item as its closing. For example, a signature can contain 
your name, address, phone and fax numbers, and any other text you 
want to include. By defining such information as a signature, you save 
yourself the trouble of having to enter it every time you create an 
e-mail item. 
Adding a signature to your message is a two-part process. First, you 
create your signature. Then you select the Signature option. 
To create a signature:
1. Tap the Menu icon  .

Storing e-mail to be sent later
When you send e-mail from your organizer, it actually stores the 
e-mail in the Outbox folder until the next time you synchronize your 
organizer with your computer. During synchronization, all e-mail 
stored in the Outbox folder is transferred to the Outbox folder in your 
desktop E-Mail application. E-mail created on your organizer is sent 
out the next time you send mail from your desktop E-Mail application.
To send e-mail:
nAfter you create an e-mail item, tap Send. 
Editing unsent e-mail
You can make changes to an e-mail that has not yet been sent, as long 
as you have not yet performed a HotSync operation. When you edit an 
e-mail item, your organizer removes the item from the Outbox folder 
and takes you back to the New Message screen, where you can edit the 
item and resend it, save it as a draft, or delete it.
