Email Service Provider accounts are connections to the large email service providers, such as Gmail and
Hotmail. When using Vodafone Email Plus in conjunction with an account on any of these email domains, you get two primary benefits beyond the standard capabilities of Internet Email accounts:

• Ability to search for or lookup contacts in the email address book directly from your mobile phone.
Internet Email accounts are connections to regular POP or IMAP enabled ISP mailboxes. When using
Vodafone Email Plus in conjunction with any of these standard accounts, you will receive new email on average every 15 minutes.
NOTE: Before adding your Internet Email account, please make sure you have POP enabled in your account. If you do not know how to enable POP, contact your ISP provider for more information. If POP is not enabled, you will not be able to login and retrieve email using Vodafone Email Plus.

4.3.3 Replying to/forwarding an email
When you reply to or forward an email from your mobile phone, Vodafone Email Plus offers the convenience of a smart reply/smart forward. This means that text you enter on your mobile phone is added to a full copy of the email from your mailbox before the reply/forward is sent to the recipients. If you are viewing a truncated message, you do not need to download the full message to your phone and then reply or forward everything from your phone over the air back to the server.
Instead you can send a quick reply or forward from your phone and Vodafone Email Plus will automatically create the outbound message by appending the equivalent server copy of the email message direct from your mailbox with all attachments and full HTML or plain text format. This means your recipients will receive the full message with all its parts even if you only sent a minor part of this message from your mobile phone.
To forward or reply to an email you are reading:
1.
Select Menu > Reply or Menu > Forward.

• Check with your Email Provider: If this does not work, please contact your Email Provider to verify the exact settings required to access your email account via POP or IMAP.
• If you forgot your Vodafone Email Plus password, contact
Vodafone Customer Support.

Question 14: What is the impact of Vodafone Email Plus on my mobile phone’s battery life?
• Vodafone Email Plus has been specifically optimized to send/receive as little data as possible and this minimizes your mobile phone’s battery consumption. Therefore, you should not need to recharge your phone more than once a day under normal conditions.
Question 15: Can I continue to use Vodafone Email Plus when roaming?
• You decide if and when you want to use Vodafone Email Plus if you are roaming. However, you risk incurring additional data roaming charges according to the operator you use when roaming.
