CHAPTER 15 [ ! ] Before You Begin Before you can set up an email account on your handheld, you must do the following: • Install the VersaMail® application from the installation CD onto your handheld. • If you don't already have one, establish an account with an Internet service provider such as Earthlink or a wireless carrier such as Cingular. You can also use a corporate email account. • For wireless accounts only: Have active service with a wireless carrier and a mobile phone equipped with Bluetooth® wireless technology. You must also set up a phone connection on your handheld. (Not required if you want to access email over your company's Bluetooth network.) Tungsten™ E2 Handheld Sending and Receiving Email Messages About email accounts The VersaMail application is software that lets you access email on your handheld from an account with an email provider (such as Earthlink or Yahoo!) or from your corporate email account. For each email account you want to access, you must set up an account on your handheld. For example, if you have an Earthlink account and a corporate account, set up one account for each. You can create up to eight email accounts on your handheld. [ ! ] IMPORTANT You must have an account with an email provider or a corporate account. The VersaMail application works with these accounts to transfer messages to your handheld. The application is not an email service provider. Account and connection types You can set up two types of email accounts on your handheld: Wireless Send and receive email directly to and from your handheld using the built-in Bluetooth® technology or by positioning the IR port on your handheld so that it can beam to the IR port on your mobile phone. Synchronize Only (Windows computers only) Transfer messages from the email application on your computer (such as Microsoft Outlook) to your handheld by synchronizing. You can't send and receive messages wirelessly for this type of account. Using an email provider If you are setting up a new email account and have a well-known email provider (Internet service provider, or ISP) such as Earthlink or Yahoo!, many of the required settings during the account setup are automatically configured. For other ISPs, you need the following information: • The protocol used for incoming mail, such as Post Office Protocol (POP) or Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) • The name of the incoming mail server 271
