Setting up and managing e-mail accounts
With the VersaMail application, you can access e-mail accounts from
providers such as Earthlink or Yahoo. Some companies may also allow access to
corporate e-mail with the appropriate mail server configuration. See “Accessing
corporate e-mail” 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 a network 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: You can send and receive e-mail directly to and from your handheld
by connecting with a network provider.
■ Synchronize Only: You can download, view, and 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.
Using a network account, you can set up or access an e-mail account using any of
the following connection methods:
■ Built-in GPRS (high-speed) and GSM (dial-up) radio on your handheld
■ Palm™ Bluetooth Card (sold separately) attached through the expansion card
slot connecting to a mobile phone or local access point that is enabled with
Bluetooth technology
■ PalmModem
®
accessory (sold separately)
■ External modem sled (for example, 802.11 sled)
■ Infrared (IR) port on the handheld to infrared port on a mobile phone
■ Direct connection to a mobile phone by means of a physical cable
■ Handheld cradle connected to your desktop (Windows users only)
Setting up the default account that came with your handheld
Depending on where you purchased your handheld, you may have a default
e-mail account preconfigured by a carrier. This is either a high-speed GPRS
account or a dial-up GSM account. If your wireless carrier preconfigured your
e-mail account, you need to enter username and password information before you
can use the account.
