■Network: You choose this connection method if you want to create a connection
to an e-mail provider without using Palm Wireless—for example, if you will
send and receive e-mail messages from your handheld using an external
modem that is connected to a phone jack on the wall. See “Setting up an account
with a network connection” in Chapter 6.
Creating an e-mail account using the Palm Wireless connection
If you are setting up a new e-mail account that will use the Palm Wireless
connection and you have a well-known Internet service provider (ISP) such as
Earthlink or Mindspring, the VersaMail application automatically configures
many of the required settings during the account setup.
For other ISPs, you need the following information:
■The protocol used for incoming mail, such as POP or IMAP
■The name of the incoming mail server
■The name of the outgoing mail (SMTP) server
■Whether your e-mail account requires any encryption, such as APOP
■Your e-mail address and password
■The login script (if any) you need for connecting to your ISP or mail server
NOTE Information about your e-mail account is available from the e-mail provider.
Depending on the type of e-mail service you have, you may obtain this information
by accessing the e-mail provider’s web site or by contacting the provider's customer
support.
