information.

Receiving e-mail notification

When a new message arrives in your Palm.com or Business account, by default

your handheld beeps and notifies you of the new e-mail’s arrival. The beep or alert

sound your hear is called a notification. Your handheld also notifies you of a new

message’s arrival by blinking an indicator light or vibrating if the right preferences

are turned on. For more information, see “Making your handheld buzz or blink

when you get new e-mail” later in this chapter. You can set notification options

only for the Palm.com or Palm Desktop Link Business account.

NOTE The Notification option is turned on by default. If the handheld does not notify

you when new messages are received, check whether the Notification option is

turned on. See “Setting notification options for your Palm.com account” later in this

chapter for more information.

Viewing and using the Reminders list

The handheld also displays a Reminders list that shows summary information

about new e-mail messages and alerts from other applications, such as alerts to

remind you of Date Book appointments.
