Help for Generic phones
=== Introduction
This is the Funambol Java ME Email Client Help.
For more details on the actual procedures and the options, see the Funambol Java ME Email Client User Guide, available in Acrobat format at www.funambol.com/opensource/documentation

=== Operations
All the following tasks can be done with the Email Client:

- Open and read new email messages
- Write and send new email messages (use Compose from the main menu)
- Reply or forward messages in the Inbox (use Reply, Reply All or Forward from the menu while viewing a message)
- Delete messages from the Inbox (use '0' shortcut to delete messages)
- Flag messages currently in the Inbox (use '*' shortcut to set or clear flags)
- Set up automatically scheduled get mail
- Browse Web links contained in email messages
- Manage your email client address book (automatically synchronized with your contacts on the Funambol server)
- Review and send in a log of the most recent synchronizations

=== Contacts sync
Every time you start Funambol on your phone, your contacts and their email addresses on the server are automatically synchronized with your email client. They are available when you compose messages, eliminating the need to manually type in email addresses.

=== Scheduled sync
In addition, to being able to manually press "Get Mail" to download your new messages, you may also set up the Funambol client to perform this operation regularly based on a pre-defined interval:
1- While in the inbox, select "Options", then "Settings", then "General"
2- In "Get mail:", select your desired interval for performing "Get Mail" (e.g. every 5 minutes, every 30 minutes, etc..)
Scheduled synchronization works whether the Funambol application is running in the foreground or in the background.

=== Tips & tricks
- Use '*' to flag emails while in the inbox.  If you're connected to an IMAP email account, the flag status of your emails will be exchanged between your email server and the Funambol email client

- Use '0' to delete emails while in the inbox

- Deleting messages on the client will not delete message on the email server unless you do the following (please notice that some providers might block this funtionality):
  1- While in the inbox, select "Options", then "Settings", then "General"
  2- Set "Delete messages" to "Device & Server"
  3- Press "Save" to store the updated configuration

- Search for a Contact: While looking at the contacts list, you may find specific contacts by spelling out their name or email address using T9-style typing on your phone's alphanumeric keypad (e.g. for "Andy", press 2639).  To clear the search criteria and show all of your contacts, press 0 on your phone's keypad

- Call Sender: While viewing a message, you may initiate a phone call to the sender of the email if the sender has a home, work or mobile phone number defined on the Funambol portal/server.  To perform this operation, select "Call Sender" from the menu while viewing a message.  If the user has more than one phone number, you'll be prompted to select which phone number you'd like to call
