3.  Select your preferences for Email settings:

Include Self in Reply All

Enable this option to include yourself in the recipient list when sending a Reply to All.  Default setting: enabled

Close Original Message on Reply or Forward

Enable this option to automatically close the original message after you reply to or forward it and return to the message list.  Default setting: disabled

Enable Spell Check When Sending Messages

Enable this option to automatically check spelling in all messages sent from NotifySync.  Default setting: disabled

Disallow copy and paste

Enable this option to prevent the copying and pasting of text to or from email messages in the NotifySync email folders.  Default setting: disabled

Display Sender/Recipient

Choose how the sender and recipient information displays when viewing the messages you receive on the device. 
Choose: Name and Email Address, Name, or Email Address

Email Body Type

Select the preferred format in which NotifySync displays the messages it retrieves from the server.  Default setting: HTML

(Note that the ActiveSync server ultimately determines the format in which the message displays.)

Plain Text:  Displays all email in plain text (contains no formatting), converting HTML emails to plain text as well.

HTML:  Displays email in HTML (text formatted for the Web) whenever possible.  There are several options for HTML email:

  Default Font Size: Choose from a 1 – 16 point size.  Locks the font size, eliminating the need to change size for every email viewed.  Default setting: 8.

  Zoom Level:  Choose 50, 100, 150, or 200 percent.  Locks the zoom level, eliminating the need to change the level for every email viewed (functional with OS v5.0 or higher). Default setting: 100 percent.

  Automatically Download Images:  If enabled, images embedded in the HTML body download automatically.  If disabled, the images may be downloaded by using the message view menu option, Retrieve Content.
Default setting: enabled

  Cache Images: If enabled, HTML images are cached once they are downloaded.  Choose where images are cached: Device or Media Card. A cached image is removed from the device when the email it is associated with is removed.  Default setting:  disabled

Before enabling this option, please read the highlighted information below on device performance.

Email Truncation Size (in KB):  Select Get Portion and define the maximum body size (in KB) of messages received on the device; or select Get All Body or Get Headers Only.

Note: Truncation size options may vary depending on what your corporate policy allows.

Auto Complete

If enabled, email addresses, currently stored on the device, are automatically completed as you type them into recipient fields.  Default setting: Enabled for both Frequent and Address Book emails

Frequent Emails – If checked, pulls completed addresses from your frequent contact list (addresses to which you have recently sent emails).

Address Book Emails – If checked, pulls completed addresses from your device’s address book.

Add Signature to Outgoing Messages

Enable this option to add a signature to all outgoing messages sent from NotifySync.  Compose the signature here as well.  Default setting: enabled with generic signature

Select Add Signature Image from the menu to select a graphic to add to your signature.  You may select an image from the BlackBerry File System or from a Web Link.

4.  Select Save from the menu.

 

Clear the Frequent Emails List

The Frequent Emails list used by Auto Complete is comprised of addresses to which you have recently sent Email.  It stores the ten most recently used addresses for each letter of the alphabet.  You can clear the list by selecting Clear Frequent Emails from the menu.  The list will build again from addresses you enter in recipient fields from this point forward.

 

Enabling Cache Images

Having Cache Images enabled can accumulate excessive data charges or may cause you to experience a more rapid battery deterioration and slower message processing.
