CHAPTER 2

Using Your Palm™ WirelessE-Mail Account

After you have installed Palm™ VersaMail™ personal e-mail software version 2.0

on your Palm™ i705 handheld, you are ready to use the many wireless e-mail

features. As part of your paid subscription to consumer Palm.Net® wireless

service, a wireless e-mail account is created for you when you activate your

handheld. This account is active as long as your Palm.Net subscription is active.

NOTE This wireless e-mail account is not provided if your company has activated

your handheld using a group or corporate discounted Palm.Net service plan.

This chapter describes the following:

■What features and advantages your Palm Wireless e-mail account offers

■How to view your Palm Wireless e-mail account on your handheld as well as on

the Internet

■How to set up wireless notification for new e-mail messages

■How to collect mail from other e-mail accounts into your Palm.com account for

centralized access to all your mail

What is a Palm Wireless e-mail account?

When you register for your Palm Wireless service and activate your handheld, you

receive a 5 megabyte (MB) Palm Wireless e-mail account, either a Palm.com or a

Palm.Net account. Most users are given a Palm.com address, such as

“jsmith@palm.com.” If you have upgraded wireless service from a

Palm™ VII/VIIx handheld, you will retain a Palm.Net address, such as

“jsmith@Palm.net.”

NOTE Although this handbook refers to your Palm.com address, it can be used

interchangeably with a Palm.Net address.

Access your Palm.com account using the VersaMail application on your handheld,

view it on the Internet, or view it on a desktop computer with an active Internet

connection using any POP (Post Office Protocol) e-mail client application. As with

a Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, or other personal e-mail account, you can send and receive

e-mail messages, create folders, and forward messages.
