Setting Up And Managing E-Mail Accounts; Account And Connection Types - Palm Tungsten Tungsten C Handbook

Setting up and managing e-mail accounts

With the VersaMail application, you can access e-mail accounts from providers
such as Earthlink or Yahoo. You may also access your corporate e-mail with the
appropriate mail server configuration. See
later in this chapter for more information.
You can add up to eight e-mail accounts on your handheld by setting up a
connection to an e-mail service provider or synchronizing to a desktop e-mail
application. For example, if you have a Yahoo e-mail account with POP access, you
can create a new account in the VersaMail application and name that new account
Yahoo, so that you can send and receive e-mail on your handheld using your Yahoo
account.

Account and connection types

Two types of e-mail accounts are supported:
Network:
by connecting with an e-mail service provider.
Synchronize Only (Windows computers only):
manage e-mail between the handheld and a desktop e-mail application, such as
Microsoft Outlook, by performing a HotSync operation using the cradle/cable.
You can't send and receive messages wirelessly or with a modem for an account
of this type.
