Setting Up Mail On The Desktop - IBM WorkPad Workpad Handbook

In Mail, you can do the following:
View, delete, file, and reply to incoming mail.
Create outgoing e-mail items and drafts of e-mail items.
Create simple or complex filters, which allow you to decide the
type of e-mail that your PC companion retrieves from your
desktop E-Mail application.
Use your PC companion to send and retrieve e-mail items from
your desktop E-Mail application via the cradle or infrared
communications.

Setting up Mail on the desktop

Before you use Mail for the first time, make sure your desktop E-Mail
application is up and running. You must also set up Palm
software for IBM WorkPad for use with your desktop E-Mail
application.
Your PC companion supports a number of desktop E-Mail
applications, such as:
Microsoft Exchange (version 5.0 or higher)
QUALCOMM Eudora (version 3.0.1 or higher)
Lotus cc:Mail (6.0 or higher)
Microsoft Outlook 97 (or higher)
Microsoft Outlook Express
Netscape Communicator (version 4.5 or higher)
You can see the full list of the supported applications when you set up
Mail. If your desktop E-Mail application does not appear on the list,
you may still be able to manage your desktop E-Mail application from
your PC companion by means of special connection software, called a
conduit, that lets you synchronize your desktop E-Mail application
and your PC companion. Contact the vendor of your E-Mail
application or visit the web site
information.
Note: The following instructions assume that you have already
installed Palm Desktop software for IBM WorkPad on your
computer and that you did not set up Mail during the
installation. If you have not yet installed the Palm Desktop
software for IBM WorkPad, the installation procedure
prompts you to set up Mail as part of the Palm Desktop
software for IBM WorkPad installation.
