Receiving alerts

You can receive alerts on your handheld and in Palm Desktop software.
Receiving alerts on your handheld
When you use certain application settings, your handheld can alert you to any of
the following:
An appointment set in Calendar
A task entered in Tasks
A note created in Note Pad
An alarm set in World Clock
E-mail messages received in the VersaMail application
When an alert occurs, your handheld displays a reminder message. If you tap
Snooze in response to an alert message, your handheld reminds you of the item
again in five minutes. The Reminders screen displays alerts that await attention.
