CHAPTER 2
Setting Up and Managing
E-mail Accounts
With Palm™ VersaMail™ personal e-mail software, 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.
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.
This chapter describes the following:

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 an e-mail service provider.
Synchronize Only (Windows computers 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.
