CHAPTER 16

Sending and Receiving Email Messages

Setting up an account

You must have an account with an email provider or a corporate account.The

VersaMail application works with these accounts to transfer messages to and from your
handheld. The application is not an email service provider.

Before you can use the VersaMail application with a given email account, you need to set up the
account in VersaMail. You can do this in one of three ways:

• On a Windows computer, if the email account is already set up on your computer—for example,

if you use Outlook Express on your computer to access your EarthLink account—you can
transfer the account settings to your handheld in just a few steps.

• On a Windows computer, if this is a new account, you can quickly set up the account on your

computer and synchronize the information to your handheld.

• If you are a Mac user, you can set up the account directly on your handheld. Windows users

can also choose to set up either a new or existing account directly on the handheld.

Special setup considerations apply if you are setting up a Microsoft Exchange

ActiveSync® account to synchronize email and Calendar information with Microsoft Exchange
Server 2003.

You can open VersaMail account setup on a Windows computer in one of two ways:

• During software CD installation, select the option to set up your email software on the final

installation screen.

• From the Start menu, select Programs, navigate to the Palm program group, and then select

VersaMail Setup.

If you plan to synchronize your new handheld using an existing username from

another handheld, you must do so before you enter your email account information in VersaMail.
If you enter the email account information first and then synchronize your handheld with your
computer using an existing username, the email account information you entered is overwritten.
