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 computer retrieves from your desktop e-mail application.

Use your handheld computer in its cradle to send and retrieve e- mail items from your desktop e-mail application.

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 computer supports a number of desktop E-Mail applications, such as Microsoft Exchange (version 4.0 or higher), Eudora (version 3.0.3 or higher), and Lotus cc:Mail (versions 2.5, 6.0, and 7.0). 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 computer by means of special connection software, called a conduit, that lets you synchronize your desktop E-Mail application and your handheld computer. Contact the vendor of your E-Mail application for more information.

Note: The following instructions assume that you have already installed Palm Desktop software on your personal 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.

To set up Mail:

1.Click Start in the Windows taskbar.

2.Highlight Programs, highlight Palm Desktop software, and then click Mail Setup to begin setup.

3.Follow the instructions onscreen to set up your handheld computer for use with your desktop E-Mail application.
