If you are like most people you just get too many emails a day, and the thought of downloading them all to your phone brings up visions of spam, shopping websites and just plain junk coming into your Smartphone.  Well there is a setting you need to know about on both Palm operating Smartphones and Windows operating Smartphones that will speed up your email and unclutter your life.  Read below for which device you are using.

Palm OS, if you are using Versamail, which some carriers label it as "Email" you can change a few setting.  Go to your email, tap on the "Menu" button, looks like a set of steps going into the basement, then scroll across looking for "Options" and under Options you will see "Preferences".  Tap on "Preferences" and scroll to "Incoming", at the top of the page you will see "Get" tap where it says "Entire Message" and switch it to "Subject Only".  What happens now it will download only who it's from and the Subject line.  So you can quickly delete if junk or open it and tap on the small envelope at the bottom of the page to download the body of the email.

Windows OS, go to your email and tap on the word "Menu", and you will see "Delivery Preferences" then tap on "Filters", in the middle of the screen it will give the choice of either "Get Message Headers Only" which you want to select or "Get full copy of message", which slows down your email.

Some carriers use their own designed and built email program, you might want to contact them if you can't find the above buttons and areas.
