Phone Messaging
July 29, 2002 T-Mobile Sidekick Owner’s Manual 112
Folders - In the illustration of the Browse Message screen above you’ll see the three “system” folders--Inbox,
Outbox, and Trash--identified by a folder-type icon:
To the right of the folder name, the number of unread versus total number of messages is shown in
parentheses.
• In the example above, Inbox (1/3) contains three messages, of which one is unread. The Inbox is shown
in “expanded” view (its list of messages is showing), with the first message in bold, indicating it is
“unread”.
•The Outbox is empty and is shown collapsed. The Outbox is used to hold your messages, only until they
have been sent. Then they disappear from the Outbox and are not stored on your SIM.
•The Trash folder is empty and shown collapsed.
Individual messages are grouped in collapsible folder lists. To open (expand) a folder’s list of messages, use the
wheel to highlight the folder name, then press. To collapse the list, press again. Press again to expand, etc.
Message Sender - If the sender of the phone message is in your Address Book, then the phone number will
resolve to a contact name, which displays in the left column. If the sender is not in your Address Book, then the
sender’s phone number will display.
Message Lead-In and Preview - The first few words of the phone message will display to the left of the
sender’s name/phone number. The first few lines of the message highlighted will display in the “preview pane”,
which appears just below the list of messages.
Open a Message - To open an individual message, highlight the message and press the wheel. To learn more
about reading your message, read
View Phone Messages
on page 113.
Status Indicators - To the left of each item in the Browse Phone Messages screen is an icon that indicates the
status of the folder or message. To interpret these icons, read
Status Indicators
on page 112.
Status Indicators
Icons shown the to left of each folder name or phone message tell you their status. Plus, all unread messages
are shown in bold. Here’s what the icons mean:
You have replied to this message.
You forwarded this message.
There was an error when sending this message. (It wasn’t sent.) You will only see this
status indicator next to messages in the Sent folder.
This message is waiting to be sent. You will only see this status indicator next to
messages in the Sent folder.
This message is being sent. You will only see this status indicator next to messages in
the Sent folder.
