Chapter 7: Configuring Communications

Overview

Web-based E-mail Account

This is an e-mail account that you must connect to using a web browser, e.g. HotMail or Yahoo! Mail.

Note: You can’t connect to this type of account using the e-mail program.

To use web-based e-mail, you must first set up your netpad for Internet access. You will need to use the Internet Explorer program to access your e- mail provider’s web site.

7.4.1.4If You Don’t Have An Internet/E-mail Account

You will require an e-mail account before you can access the Internet, and send and receive e-mail messages on your netpad.

•To get a personal e-mail account, you must ‘sign-up’ with an Internet Service Provider (ISP). ISPs usually provide an e-mail account as part of an Internet access package.

•Most ISPs will provide software (e.g. a CD-ROM) which will help you set up Internet access and the e-mail account on a PC.

Important: Some ISPs require that you connect to them using a PC in order to sign-up. If you can’t do this, contact the ISP to find out if you can sign-up without using a PC. If you have Internet access, see www.psion.com/mobile for more details.
