Messaging: Instant messaging

Set up an instant messaging (IM) account

Your smartphone supports instant messaging through popular online IM services, such as GoogleTalk 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 Veer 4G) 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 HP webOS smartphones.

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 synchronization.

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.
