7.4.1 Overview

Before you can use Internet Explorer (the Internet browser) and Inbox (the e-mail application) on your netpad, you need to set up certain details. This section covers some general questions that people ask about using e-mail and the Internet, and provides a glossary of terms. The later sections list the information you will need to know before you start setting up the netpad, and then provide step-by-step instructions.

7.4.1.1Using The Internet On netpad

You can use your netpad to:

You can use your netpad to send and receive e-mail messages using either one, or both, of the following methods:

Connecting By Telephone Line To A Remote Mailbox

For example, you could access your personal mailbox by dialing your Internet Service Provider (ISP), or access your work mailbox by dial- ling your company's service provider or office mailbox.

What to do next…

If you want to access your work mailbox, you will first need to contact your network administrator to find out whether you can make a ‘remote’ (dial-up) connection to your mailbox. See “Types Of E-mail Account” on page 76 to continue.
