Important: Exercise caution when opening messages. Messages may
contain malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or PC.
Before you can create a multimedia message or write an e-mail, you must have the
correct connection settings defined.
The wireless network may limit the size of MMS messages. If the inserted picture
exceeds this limit, the device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by MMS.
Only devices that have compatible features can receive and display multimedia
messages. The appearance of a message may vary depending on the receiving
device.
Check the size limit of e-mail messages with your service provider. If you attempt
to send an e-mail message that exceeds the size limit of the e-mail server, the
message is left in the Outbox folder, and the device attempts to resend it
periodically. Sending an e-mail requires a data connection, and continuous
attempts to resend the e-mail may incur charges from your service provider. In the
Outbox folder, you can delete such a message or move it to the Drafts folder.
