7.4 Internet And E-Mail Settings
7.4.1 Overview
Before you can use Internet Explorer (the Internet browser) and Inbox (the e-mail
application) on your NETBOOK PRO, 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 NETBOOK PRO, and then provide
step-by-step instructions.
7.4.1.1 Using The Internet On The NETBOOK PRO
You can use your NETBOOK PRO to:
• Access the Internet and view web pages using the Internet Explorer program.
• View locally stored web pages and graphics files.
• Download files, e.g. additional programs for your NETBOOK PRO.
7.4.1.2 Using E-mail On The NETBOOK PRO
You can use your NETBOOK PRO to send and receive e-mail messages by con-
necting to a remote mailbox.
Connecting By Telephone Line To A Remote Mailbox
This is for making a ‘live’ connection to your e-mail mailbox via a telephone line
(without needing a PC). For example, you could access your personal mailbox by
dialing your Internet Service Provider (ISP), or access your work mailbox by dialing
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 104 to
continue.
