When you compose a new e-mail, you will automatically see the event history of that person.
When you compose a new e-mail, you will be asked whether you want to see their event history.
You won't see the event history of the person you're e-mailing unless you reveal the history manually in the E-mail Compose screen.
E-mails will be sent and received with the minimum amount of user interaction. You will still be asked about deleting junk e-mail if you have that option set, and also about retrieving large attachments if you have that option set.
When you check for new e-mail you will see it listed on screen and you can choose which messages you want to retrieve or delete.
For example, you might want to delete an e-mail with a large attachment to clear space in your mailbox, without having to download it first.
If this is ticked then three attempts will be made to access your POP or SMTP host, with a delay of a few seconds inbetween each attempt.
If this is unticked and the host cannot be contacted, you will be notified immediately.
You sometimes fail to connect to a host because it is busy at the time, and so making a few attempts is worthwhile.

For example, if you use the word attached or sending, such as 'I have attached the file...'
If this is unticked then no checks will be made for missing attachments.
