Using e-mail on your Sidekick 3

When you first power on and register your Sidekick device, you automatically receive a personal Sidekick e-mail account. Your Sidekick e-mail account is available immediately on your device and from the e-mail application on the desktop interface. You can also add up to three Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) or Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) e-mail accounts. Additional e-mail accounts can be fetched and administered from the device or the desktop interface.

Community tip: A good way to prevent spam is to avoid putting your full Sidekick e-mail address on public sites (blogs, forums, etc.) without some kind of obfusication (such as, cooldude AT sidekick DOT com). Spam robots trawl the net looking to harvest addresses and sign them up, but they often can't figure out simple changes like that. Or, another option is to add obvious extra words, such as cooldudeNOSPAMPLEASE@sidekick.com, where a human would see to remove the capitalized letters to get cooldude's address.

I just noticed when I get an email photo attachment I can no longer click the little paperclip right below the email addresses and it will jump to the picture. What happened?
