CHAPTER 18 Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages
About e-mail accounts
The VersaMail application is software that lets you access e-mail on your handheld from an
account with an e-mail provider (such as Earthlink or Yahoo) or from your corporate e-mail
account. For each e-mail account you want to access, you must set up an account on your
handheld. For example, if you have an Earthlink account and a corporate account, set up one
account for each. You can create up to eight e-mail accounts on your handheld.
You must have an account with an e-mail provider or a corporate account. The
VersaMail application works with these accounts to transfer messages to your handheld. The
application is not an e-mail service provider.
Account and connection types
You can set up two types of e-mail accounts on your handheld:
Wireless Send and receive e-mail directly to and from your handheld using the built-in Bluetooth
technology or by positioning the IR port on your handheld so that it can beam to the IR port on
your mobile phone.
Synchronize Only (Windows computers only) Transfer messages from the e-mail application on
your computer (such as Microsoft Outlook) to your handheld by synchronizing
. You can’t send and
receive messages wirelessly for this type of account.
Using an e-mail provider
If you are setting up a new e-mail account and have a well-known e-mail provider (Internet service
provider or ISP) such as Earthlink or Yahoo!, many of the required settings during the account
setup are automatically configured.
For other ISPs, you need the following information:
• The protocol used for incoming mail, such as Post Office Protocol (POP) or Internet Message
Access Protocol (IMAP)
• The name of the incoming mail server
