email on your palm™ handheld

Palm™ email

Palm™ Handhelds are not supplied with an email application pre-installed. You will need to load an email application such as ‘MultiMail’ (free with the bonus CD provided with every new Palm™ Handheld) before you can use an ‘inbox’. Please refer to your Palm user guide for details of the Palm website. http://www.palm.com/software/multimail/ mmpro-faq.html

Internet-based email

You can access your Internet-based email with Mobile Web. To access, for example, Connectedmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc, simply enter the url of your Internet-based email provider’s site via Mobile Web and ‘log in’ as you normally do.

Work email

It is possible to send and receive your work email online using Mobile Web, if your workplace supports POP3 or IMAP4. You will need to discuss this with your IT Manager. MultiMail can also be used to read and reply to email off-line. You can do this by synchronising it with your PC. Refer to your MultiMail user guide for more information.

An easier way to use email

Mobile Web lets you create a new email service in your email application (e.g. MultiMail), and use it to read and send your emails. This avoids having to open your web browser and go to your email provider’s web site each time you want to check mail. It’s a more convenient way of accessing your emails as they are ‘popped’ through to one central place in your inbox.
