(44) "Read" button of an e-mail
An e-mail is primarily divided up into the two areas "Message header" and "Message contents".
The inbox display page firstly displays only the message headers to give the user a quick overview
and to increase handling speed. The messager header of an e-mail (43) is displayed in two
lines on the display page. The subject of the e-mail is displayed in the first line. The second line
contains the sender, the date and the time of the message.
The panel can evaluate and display a maximum of 32 e-mail messages in each mailbox. Up to
four message headers can be displayed on each inbox display page. If there are more e-mails
in the mailbox, then the additional message headers are displayed on the ext pages, which can
be accessed using the "Forward" button. If a mailbox contains more than 32 messages, only the
most recent 32 e-mails are displayed.
Pressing the "Back" button leaves the inbox and causes a jump back to the mailbox system
page.
The message contents of an e-mail can be displayed by pressing the "Read" button to the right
of a message header (44) briefly. Long actuation (> 5 s) of this button causes the panel to delete
the appropriate e-mail immediately without displaying the message contents. This allows
quick and easy removal of spam mails from the mailbox, for example.
After brief actuation of the "Read" button, the panel polls the complete mail from the mail server.
During this operation, which may take some time, depending on the size of the message contents,
"Please wait, loading data..." is displayed on the panel screen. An hourglass in the centre
of the screen also symbolises the wait operation graphically.
In Read mode, after a successful load operation, the panel displays only the message contents
(plain text) of the polled message. No hyperlinks in the text are evaluated. The panel does not
display HTML or RTF contents or e-mail attachments. Should an e-mail message contains only
the elements just named, and no plain text, then pressing the "Read" button will cause the panel
to activate the internal piezo buzzer briefly. The same thing occurs when there are no e-mails in
the mailbox.
In Read mode, a maximum of nine lines of text are displayed on the panel screen. If the e-mail
message contains more lines of text, then pressing the "Forward" button in the message text
switches to the second page. If the text is longer than two pages, then it is cut off.
Pressing the "Back" button exits Read mode for e-mail messages. Tapping the "Delete" button
causes the panel to delete the e-mail completely on the mail server.
i Caution: an e-mail deleted on the mail server by the panel cannot be restored.
i The following information should be observed with regard to the inbox protocol
(IMAPv4 , POP3) configured in the PC Client software:
With IMAPv4, only the "Inbox" directory of the mail server is synchronised. The panel does
not poll other directories. In addition, the panel cannot modify the directory structure on the
IMAP mail server. With IMAP, the e-mails stay on the server. The panel only ever downloads
a copy of the message.
With POP3 too, only copies of the messages are downloaded. The originals remain on the
mail server until 'Delete' is pressed on the panel.
i The panel does not support encryption of the communication ot the mail server (e.g. SSL).
i Newly arrived e-mails are not signalled on the screen for as long as the inbox display page
is shown or Read mode is active. New messages are only visible on the screen with the
"Letter icon" (see picture 39) when the inbox display page is exited. The newly arrived messages
can be read the next time the display page is opened.
Irrespective of the signalling of new e-mails on the panel screen, it is possible to display
newly arrived messages using the "New message" communication objects at any time.
