Page 144 Communicating Using Your Handheld
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 handheld retrieves from your desktop
E-mail application.
■ Use your handheld 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™ Desktop
software for use with your desktop E-Mail application.
Your handheld supports a number of desktop E-Mail applications, for
Microsoft Windows, 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 handheld by means of special connection software, called a
conduit, that lets you synchronize your desktop E-Mail application
and your handheld. Contact the vendor of your E-Mail application or
visit the web site
http://www.palm.com for more information.
Note: The following instructions assume that you have already
installed Palm Desktop software on your computer and that
you did not set up Mail during the installation. If you have not
yet installed the Palm Desktop software, the installation
procedure prompts you to set up Mail as part of the Palm
Desktop software installation.
