To edit an existing account, do the following while in the Email application:
- From the Browse Email screen, press MENU
then select Accounts. The Email Accounts screen opens. - From this screen you can change how the messages from each of your accounts are signed. Limit your signature to four lines.
- Scroll to highlight the
button opposite the name of the account you want to edit, then press the TRACKBALL to open that account's Edit Account screen. Note: For your primary account, you'll only be able to edit the fields shown below: - In the General group box, you can turn certain functionality on or off:
- The Collect email from this account check box is checked by default. If, at some point in the future, you want the Email application to stop collecting email messages from the external account, select the check box to clear the check mark in the box. The account information is saved in case you want the application to start collecting email messages from that account later.
- The Remove retrieved email from server is not checked by default. This means that as your messages are fetched to your device and Email Desktop Interface, those messages are also kept on the email server. If you want the messages on the server to be removed as they're downloaded to your device, then check this box.
- The Account group box on the Edit Account screen contains the basic external email account information you entered when you first set up the account. You can edit any of the fields if you need to. You can decide the folder in which you want messages from this account delivered. Select from all existing folders (including those you've created) from the Email Folder pop-up menu. Note that if you later rename the folder you selected, this setting will update automatically. Also, this group box contains fields where you can specify display names and to/from email addresses.
- From Name - Your name as you'd like it to appear on message sent through this account.
- From Address - The email address you'd like to appear in the From field on outgoing messages from this account.
- Reply-To Name - The email name that will appear in the To field when people reply to a message you send from this account.
- Reply-To Address - The email address that you want used when people reply to messages sent from this account.
- Copy Outgoing Messages - You can have each message you send from this account automatically CC'd or BCC'd to another email address. Select the check box and the type the email address in the text field.
- When you are finished making your edits, select DONE
. To discard any changes you've made and dismiss the screen, press CANCEL
