Types Of E-mail Account

There are a number of different types of e-mail account. See the list below to find
out which types of account you can connect to using the e-mail program on your
NETBOOK PRO.

Personal Dial-up Account

This is most likely a dial-up e-mail account which you’ve signed-up for with an
Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Which ISPs can I use?

You can use most ISPs which use ‘Internet standard’ methods for connecting
to your e-mail account. However, some ISPs (such as America Online) use pro-
prietary methods for connecting, and cannot be accessed by your NETBOOK
PRO (i.e. you must use a PC). Move on to “Setting Up Your NETBOOK PRO”
on page 106 to c
ontinue.

Remote (e.g. Office) E-mail Account

This is most likely an e-mail account at your workplace, e.g. using Microsoft
Exchange or Lotus Notes.

How do I find out if I can use my account?

You will need to find out from your network administrator whether you can
access your e-mail mailbox using this type of account. If you can, move on to
“Setting Up Your NETBOOK PRO” on page 106 to continue.

Web-based E-mail Account

This is an e-mail account that you must connect to using a web browser, such as
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 NETBOOK PRO for
Internet access. You will need to use the Internet Explorer program to
access your e-mail provider’s web site.
