Messaging: Instant messaging

Set up an instant messaging (IM) account

Your smartphone supports instant messaging through popular online IM services, such as Google Talk and AIM. If you already have an IM account, you can sign in through the Messaging app or through the Accounts app (see Use the Accounts application to set up an online account).

The HP Synergy feature (see Your HP Pre3) provides another advantage: During the same process you go through to set up a messaging account, you also set up the same account for all other applications that can display data from that account. For details on how Synergy works for the current list of online accounts, see Online accounts available for webOS phones.

For example, suppose you want to set up your Google Talk account on your smartphone. The last step in setup is to select all the other apps that you want to receive data from your Google account (besides Messaging, you can include Contacts, Calendar and Email). After setup is complete, your smartphone begins to download your messages and all data for all other apps you selected for synchronisation.

1Open Messaging .

2Do one of the following:

•The first time you open Messaging: Tap Add An Account.

•Any other time: Open the application menu and tap Preferences & Accounts. Tap Add IM Account.

3Do either of the following:

•To set up messaging with one of the accounts listed: Tap the account type.

•To set up an account type that is not listed, tap Find More, tap an app and follow the onscreen instructions to add the account.

4If you are setting up a Skype account, tap Sign In.

5Enter your username and password.

6Tap Sign In.

7Depending on the account, you may be presented with options for which apps should download data from that account. For each app, tap On or Off and then tap Create.

8Tap Done.

Create a Skype account in Messaging

You do not need to have a Skype account set up before using Skype in Messaging—you can set one up directly from Messaging. You can also create a Skype account in Accounts (see Use the Accounts application to set up an online account), Contacts (see Create a Skype account in Contacts) and Phone (see Create or sign in to a Skype account).
