Email How do I send and receive email on my phone? Use the Email application on your phone to access the many email accounts you have: company (like Exchange), ISP (like EarthLink or Comcast), and web-based (like Gmail). The Palm® Synergy™ feature makes it easy to synchronize all data from an online account. By setting up synchronization in one app, synchronization of the other apps is automatically set up for you. For example, if you set up your Google contacts account in Contacts before you set up Gmail, when you first open Email, you find that your Gmail messages are already downloaded. And when you first open Calendar, you find that your Google calendar events are already in your phone's Calendar app. For email accounts that do not make use of the Synergy feature, you need to enter the settings for that account-such as username and password- directly in the Email application (see Set up email). You can also use your phone's web browser to view your web-based email-just go to the email provider's website. Merged inboxes in Email You can set up multiple email accounts on your phone. When you open Email, you see all your accounts in a single view: Account List view. From there, you can open the inbox of an individual account-or, thanks to the Palm® Synergy™ feature, you can see all messages from all your inboxes displayed in a single merged view called All inboxes. 64 Chapter 5 : Email and other messages 1 The number to the right of All inboxes indicates the total number of unread email messages in all your email accounts. 2 The number to the right of an individual folder name indicates the number of unread messages in that folder. If you reply to a message when you're working in All inboxes, the message is sent from the same account in which it was received. If you create a new message when you're working in All inboxes, the message goes out using the account you set as the default account (see Set email preferences). Set up email Follow this procedure if you have a common email provider, for example, AOL, EarthLink, or Yahoo! If you are setting up the Email application to work with your corporate email account that uses Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, see Set up email: Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (EAS). If the email account you set up takes advantage of the Synergy feature, then setting up email also synchronizes the provider's calendar and contacts. 1 Open Email .
