CHAPTER 18 Sending and Receiving Email Messages
Creating an account
Before you can use the VersaMail application with a given email account, you need to set up the
account in VersaMail. If you have multiple email accounts, you must set up a VersaMail account
for each one. You have three setup options:
• On a Windows computer, if the email account is already set up on your computer—for example,
if you use Outlook Express on your computer to access your Earthlink account—you can transfer
the account settings to your device in just a few steps.
• On a Windows computer, if this is a new account, you can quickly set up the account on your
computer and synchronize the information to your device. The steps for setting up an account
on your computer depend on whether you are using a common email provider such as Earthlink
or Yahoo! or whether you are using a less common provider.
• For either a new or an existing account, you can set up the account directly on your device
.
If you are setting up a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync
®
account to synchronize email and Calendar
information with info in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, see Working with Microsoft Exchange
ActiveSync® for setup instructions.
You can open VersaMail account setup in one of two ways:
• During software CD installation, select the option to set up your email software on the final
installation screen.
• From the Start menu, select Programs, navigate to the palmOne program group, and then select
VersaMail Setup.
If you plan to synchronize your new device using an existing username from
another device, you must do so before you enter your email account information in VersaMail. If
you enter the email account information first and then synchronize your device with your
computer using an existing username, the email account information you entered is overwritten.
