CHAPTER 3

Setting Up and ManagingOther E-Mail Accounts
With Palm™ VersaMail™ personal e-mail software, you can access e-mail accounts
from other e-mail providers, such as Earthlink or Yahoo. Some companies may
also allow access to corporate e-mail with the appropriate mail server
configuration; see “Accessing corporate e-mail” in Chapter 6 for information.
You can add up to eight other e-mail accounts to send and receive e-mail by using
your Palm™ Wireless connection (requires Palm.Net® service), setting up a
connection with a different network service provider (for example, using an
external modem accessory, sold separately), or synchronizing to a desktop e-mail
application. For example, if you have a Yahoo e-mail account, you can create a new
account in the VersaMail application and name that new account Yahoo, so that
you can send and receive mail from your Yahoo account using your handheld.
This chapter describes the following:
■Choosing a connection type
■Setting up and configuring e-mail accounts that use the Palm Wireless
connection
■Editing e-mail accounts
■Deleting e-mail accounts

Choosing a connection type

When you set up a new account in the VersaMail application, you choose the
method for connecting to your e-mail account. You can choose from the following
connection types:
■Palm Wireless (default): You can access an account wirelessly using the wireless
modem that is built into your Palm™ i705 handheld. This type of connection
requires Palm.Net service activation.
■Synchronize-only (Windows computers only): You can view and manage e-mail
between your handheld and a desktop e-mail application, such as Microsoft
Outlook, by performing a HotSync® operation using the cradle/cable. You can’t
send and receive messages wirelessly or with a modem for any account of this
type. See “Creating a synchronize-only account” in Chapter 6 for more
information.
