Sending and receiving messages with Mail

If you have activated data services (such as GPRS), you’re ready to set up your Treo for email. These steps differ depending on who provides your email service.

•Mail: The built-in email application on Treo that provides wireless access to an existing POP3 email account. See the sections that follow for details.

•Other mobile email services: Your mobile service provider may offer a wireless email service to which you can subscribe with your service plan. Contact your mobile service provider for details.

•Third-party email applications: A number of third-party developers offer Palm OS email applications. Consult the email application’s documentation to learn how to set it up.

Setting up Mail

The first time you use Mail, you need to set it up on your Treo. If you have multiple email accounts, you can set up Mail to access more than one account. To use Mail, you must have:

•Mobile account with data services activated.

•Email account with an email service provider that supports the POP3 protocol. Examples include Tiscali, Wanadoo, and Freeserve. Contact your email provider to determine if your account is POP3 compatible. If not, contact your mobile service provider to learn about their corporate email solutions, or use a third-party solution.

The Mail application is compatible with regular POP3 email accounts. Other accounts, such as corporate or web-only email, require special applications, if available.

For quick access to the Mail application, link it to one of the buttons on the front panel of your phone, such as the Messaging button. For details, see page 117.
