Mail depends on your computer
You use Mail to manage the e-mail that you receive in your desktop
computer’s E-Mail application. When you create e-mail items in Mail,
you cannot send them out directly from your handheld; rather, you
must first synchronize your handheld with your computer. At that
time, e-mail items you created in Mail are transferred to your desktop
E-Mail application and sent out through that application. Mail does
not use the transmitter or the Palm.Net wireless communication
service. See Chapter 6 for complete information about Mail.
The iMessenger application is independent of your computer
The iMessenger application is a wireless feature. By taking advantage
of the wireless capability of your handheld, the iMessenger
application enables you to send and receive messages even though
you may be miles away from any desktop computer. You work only
with your handheld to create, send, receive, and otherwise manage
messages. Synchronizing with your computer does not transfer
iMessenger messages to your desktop E-Mail application.
Opening the iMessenger application
1. Raise the antenna, located on the right side of your handheld.
Raising the antenna automatically opens the Applications
Launcher to the Palm.Net category. When the transmitter suc-
cessfully connects to the network, your handheld beeps.
2. Tap the iMessenger icon .
Tip: You can set your handheld to open the iMessenger application
directly whenever you raise the antenna. See “Buttons
preferences” in Chapter 8 for details.
