Connecting to a mail server 3
You can send and receive messages by connecting directly to your mail server. Use a
modem to connect to your Internet service provider (ISP), or use a modem or
Ethernet card to connect to the local area network that your mail server is connected
to. In addition to creating a connection to your ISP or network, you must give Inbox
the information it needs to communicate with your mail server.
Note: Inbox does not currently support connecting with proprietary mail protocols such
as AOL® and MSN. However, you can still gain access to the Internet through these services. There may be third-party programs available that would enable you to send and receive mail through proprietary protocols. Try searching the Internet on the keyword “Windows CE” to find third-party programs for your PenCentra 200.
