“Synchronizing e-mail between the handheld and the desktop” later in this
chapter for information on using the conduit.
Synchronizing an existing username
If you plan to synchronize your Tungsten C handheld with an existing username
by performing a HotSync operation, you must do so before you enter your e-mail
account information in the VersaMail application. If you enter the e-mail account
information first and then synchronize your handheld to an existing username, the
username information overwrites the e-mail account information you entered.
Upgrading a MultiMail/VersaMail database
If you have previously used a Palm personal e-mail application such as MultiMail
SE or MultiMail Deluxe, or used version 2.0 of the VersaMail application, you can
upgrade your e-mail database for use with the VersaMail 2.5 application.
To upgrade an existing e-mail database for use with the VersaMail application:
1. Perform a HotSync operation with a user profile that contains the existing
e-mail database. To do so, press the HotSync button ™, and then select a
profile that contains an e-mail database from the displayed list of users.
2. Press the VersaMail button on your handheld.
3. Tap Yes to accept the upgrade.
Setting up and managing e-mail accounts
With the VersaMail application, you can access e-mail accounts from providers
such as Earthlink or Yahoo. You may also access your corporate e-mail with the
appropriate mail server configuration. See “Accessing corporate e-mail” later in
this chapter for more information.
You can add up to eight e-mail accounts on your handheld by setting up a
connection to a network provider or synchronizing to a desktop e-mail application.
For example, if you have a Yahoo e-mail account with POP access, you can create
a new account in the VersaMail application and name that new account Yahoo, so
that you can send and receive e-mail on your handheld using your Yahoo account.
