Chapter 6: Mail; Setting Up Mail On The Desktop - 3Com III Handbook

Chapter 6
Mail
The Mail application enables you to manage your e-mail while
away from your desk. The key to Mail is that it truly
synchronizes the mail in your desktop e-mail application with
the mail on your Palm III
For example, if you delete messages from your Palm
HotSync operation also deletes the messages from your desktop e-
®
mail application — so you never have to delete messages twice.
Similarly, if you read a message on your Palm III organizer and leave
it in your inbox, your next HotSync operation marks it as read on your
desktop e-mail.
With Mail, you can:
Use your Palm III organizer to send and/or retrieve e-mail
messages from your desktop e-mail application.
View, delete, file and/or reply to incoming mail.
Create outgoing messages as well as drafts of messages that you
can complete later.
Create simple or complex filters, which allow you to decide the
type of e-mail that your Palm III organizer retrieves from your
desktop e-mail application.

Setting Up Mail on the Desktop

Before you use Mail for the first time, your desktop e-mail application
should be up and running. You must also set up the Palm
software for use with your desktop e-mail application.
Note: The following instructions assume that you have already
installed Palm Desktop software on your computer and that
you did not set up Mail during the installation. If you have not
yet installed the Palm Desktop software, the installation
procedure will prompt you to set up Mail as part of the Palm
Desktop software installation.
