CHAPTER 18

Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages

Selecting a different service for an e-mail account

When you set up a phone connection on your handheld, you pair each connection with a network
service. You also select one of these services to be the default for all network activity on your
handheld, including sending and receiving e-mail.

For any given e-mail account, however, you can switch to a different service for that account only.
For example, the default service you have selected for your handheld may be called Bluetooth and
may use your handheld’s built-in Bluetooth functionality to make a connection to your corporate
mail server. However, for your Earthlink account, you may want to switch to the service called IR,
which uses your handheld’s IR port to make a connection to your e-mail service provider through
your mobile phone.

When you exit the VersaMail application, the service disconnects (unless you are using the default
service for your handheld). When you reopen the application, the e-mail account you selected
(Earthlink in this example) continues to connect using the new connection (IR in this example)
until you either select a new service or deselect the Always connect using check box. If you
deselect the Always connect using check box, the e-mail account (Earthlink) connects using the
default handheld service (Bluetooth in this example).

The Always connect using check box changes the connection service for the selected e-mail
account only. You must follow the procedure for each e-mail account whose connection you want
to switch from the default connection on your handheld.
