Other Tips and Tricks

  1. In your Vemail software, the buttons that appear on your phone screen in the lower corners can usually be clicked by pressing the keys in the upper corners of your phone keypad.
  2. The select Menu to get access to Back, Help, and other useful items.
  3. When creating messages, place your cursor in the TO, CC, or BCC field on the Addressing Screen and click Menu and then Pick Contact to pick addresses from your address book.
  4. During long operations like Retrieve Email or Import Contacts, your screen may dim. Don't worry, your software is still running. Press a non-critical button, like volume up, to relight the screen.
  5. When selecting a contact from a list, type the first few letters of the contact's name to jump to that contact.
  6. Try reading email and speaking replies for the fastest and easiest mobile email experience.
  7. To get notified via a text message when you have new email, login to www.Vemail.com with a computer and select Alerts (not all carriers are supported).
  8. You can copy contacts from your phone’s native address book into the Vemail Address Book by starting Vemail on your phone and from its Main screen selecting Address Book then Copy Phone’s Address Book.
  9. To backup your Vemail Address Book to the www.Vemail.com web site, start Vemail on your phone and from its Main screen select Address Book then Import Contacts. Even though the feature is called Import Contacts, it also exports them as well, effectively creating a backup copy at www.Vemail.com. This way, if you loose your phone you can always download Vemail onto a replacement phone and import your contacts back.
  10. If you use desktop email software to retrieve your email from a POP mail server, we recommend you configure it to leave a copy of your email messages on your mail server for 7 days. For instructions see: http://www.voicegenesis.net/config/popup-leave-mail-on-server.popup
  11. Vemail always leaves a copy of your messages on your mail server/service. However, when you delete messages individually in Vemail, it does attempt to delete them from your mail server (not supported with all mail servers). So, be careful.
  12. You can clear all of the messages out of your Vemail Inbox all at once using the Clear Inbox feature (this feature does not touch messages on your mail server). Assuming you are on the Vemail Main screen, select Settings, then Message Settings, then Clear Inbox.
  13. To control whether Vemail prompts you to login when you start it, from the Vemail Main screen select Settings, then User Settings, then Require Login, then Yes or No.
