Sending and receiving email
If you’ve activated data services on your Treo, you’re ready to set up the VersaMail
®
application on your phone. You can use the VersaMail account with your Earthlink or
BellSouth email account or any other POP3 or IMAP email account. You may also be
able use VersaMail with a corporate account.
Before you can use VersaMail with a given email account, you need to set up the
account in VersaMail. If you have multiple email accounts, you must set up a VersaMail
account for each one. You have three setup options:
• On a Windows computer, if the email account is already set up on your computer—
for example, if you use Outlook Express on your computer to access your Earthlink
account—you can transfer the account settings to your phone in just a few steps.
• On a Windows computer, if this is a new account, you can quickly set up the
account on your computer and synchronize the information to your phone.
• For either a new or an existing account, you can set up the account directly on
your phone.
If you are setting up a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
®
account, see “Working with
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync” on page 73 for more information, and see the
VersaMail User Guide on the CD for setup instructions.
Transferring settings from an existing account (Windows only)
1. Select the option to set up your email software when prompted on the final
screen of the software CD installation. Or select Start > Programs > palmOne >
VersaMail Setup.
2. Select your username from the first drop-down list, and then select the option to
create a new VersaMail email account. Click Next.
VersaMail is not an email
provider. It works with an
account from a provider—
your Earthlink or BellSouth
account, for example—or a
corporate account to
transfer messages to
your phone.
