Disconnecting and connecting
If your P800 is already connected to the Internet when you send 
an e-mail, it will remain connected after sending it. If your P800 
is not connected before sending an e-mail, it will connect and 
send the message. 
Note You can send text messages while connected to the 
Internet. If your connection is CSD or HSCSD it must be 
disconnected before you can make or receive a phone call. If 
your connection is GPRS, it may be suspended to enable a 
phone call to be made or received. You may need to repeat the 
data activity (web page fetch, get e-mail) after the call has 
ended.
If your P800 cannot connect to the e-mail account, automatic 
download will fail, and  will be displayed next to the e-mail 
account.

							Messages93This is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. Note  If you save an address from an e-mail synchronized from 
your company PC, the corporate version of the address, rather 
than the full Internet e-mail address, will be saved to Contacts. 
If the corporate version of the address is not an Internet address 
(an X.400 address, or just the senders name, for example), you 
can use it to send e-mails from your synchronized account, but 
you cannot use it in e-mails that you send directly from your 
P800.If your service provider or network is 
unavailableSometimes a message cannot be sent because your P800 cannot 
connect to a network. Please check that the Messaging Account 
and Internet Account information in the Control Panel is correct.
If you have both GPRS and Dial-Up Internet accounts, try 
sending the e-mail message using an account of the other type. 
GPRS Internet accounts use the GPRS network and Dial-Up 
Internet accounts use the GSM network. 
Synchronized e-mails
When you set up a synchronization with your PC, an account for 
synchronized e-mail messages is automatically created on your 
P800 and indicated by . You can have more than one account 
for synchronized e-mails. If you send an e-mail as PC mail, the 
mail will be sent via the PC when you have synchronized your 
P800 with the PC.If you set up a POP or IMAP account which accesses the same 
mail server, the two accounts will contain the same messages. 
Note that there is no connection between the accounts; the 
copies in each account are separate.
Area informationArea information messages are text messages that are sent to all 
subscribers in a certain network area, for example, a local traffic 
report. When you receive an area information message, the 
message automatically appears on the screen. When you dismiss 
the information, it will be stored in the 
Area info
 Inbox until it is 
replaced by a new message received on the same channel. 
Please consult your service provider for more information about 
availability of area information services and area information 
channel numbering. See “Area tab” on page 156 for more 
information.
