Managing your
desktop email
Mail enables you to manage the email you send and receive through your computer’s
email application. You can read, reply to, compose, and delete emails on your
handheld once you have performed a HotSync operation.
You can send or receive email after you have performed a HotSync operation, either
locally using your handheld’s cradle.
Mail synchronises the emails in the Inbox of your desktop email application with the
emails in the Inbox on your handheld.
Setting up Mail on your computer
Before you use the Mail application for the first time, make sure that your computer’s
email application is installed and running. You must also set up the Palm Desktop
software for use with your computer’s email application.
NOTE: For instructions on how to set up Palm Desktop software, refer to "To install the
Palm Desktop software" in the Acer s50 and s60 Handhelds Quick Guide.
