The following figure depicts how the connection is made.
Connecting to the Internet
Installing and configuring a modem
The HP Jornada 420 supports CompactFlash Card modems.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions included with the
CompactFlash Card modem to install and configure it for use
with the HP Jornada.
Getting an account with an Internet service provider
To send and receive e-mail, you need to contact an ISP to set up a
PPP account. SLIP accounts are offered by some ISPs instead of
PPP accounts. The HP Jornada supports the use of SLIP as well
as PPP.
Your ISP gives you the configuration information you need to
connect the HP Jornada to e-mail service:
·your account user name
·your account password
·phone number of your ISP’s modem
·IP and DNS addresses, if necessary
·your e-mail user name or ID (this may be the same as the user
name for your ISP account)
·your e-mail password (this may be the same as the password
for your ISP account)

·the POP3 host name of your ISP
·the SMTP host name of your ISP (if required by your ISP)
Setting up a dial-up connection to your ISP
After you have established an account with an ISP, you can set
up a connection on the HP Jornada and send and receive e-mail
whenever you want.
To set up a dial-up connection
1. On the 
Start menu, tap 
Programs, tap
Communication, and then tap 
Connections.
2. In the 
Connections folder, double-tap 
Make New
Connection, and type a name for the connection.
3. In the 
Make New Connection dialog box, select 
Dial-
Up Connection, and then tap 
Next.
4. Select the down-arrow button next to the 
Select a
modem box, and highlight the name of your modem.
If you do not see your modem listed in the drop-down
list, your modem may not be properly connected to your
P/PC. Make sure that the modem is connected to your
P/PC properly, based on the installation instructions
that came with the modem.
5. Tap 
Next and fill in the phone number you wish to dial.
Tap 
Finish. A new icon appears with the name you
specified in the 
Connections folder. This connection
also appears on the 
Start menu in the 
Connections
submenu.
Connecting to your ISP
After you have configured your connection to your ISP, you are
ready to connect your phone line to your modem, and then dial
in. Make sure you connect to the phone line supported by your
modem, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Most CompactFlash Card modems use analog phone lines.

To connect to your ISP
1. Plug your modem’s phone cord into a standard phone
jack.
2. To use your new connection, double-tap the new icon in
the 
Connection folder (or select the new icon from the
Start/Programs/Communication menu).
3. Fill in the requested information before you dial.
After you are connected to your ISP, use the Inbox program to
send and receive e-mail, as explained in “Using Inbox” on page
61.
If you are unable to find an analog phone line, use the line
dedicated to a fax machine. Fax machines use only analog
lines.
Setting up an Ethernet connection
The HP Jornada can also connect to networks via Ethernet cards
(CompactFlash Type II cards). Check the manufacturer’s
installation instructions for information on how to set up the
connection.

Using Inbox
In Inbox on your P/PC, tap 
Compose, 
Options, the 
Services
tab, and then the 
Add button. A setup wizard walks you through
the steps.
To download your messages from the server
1. Tap 
Service, and select the connection you want to use.
2. Tap 
Connect to start downloading.
The mail that you receive using a dial-up connection appears in
the Inbox folder on your P/PC, together with the mail you
synchronize with your desktop computer. Messages that you
receive remotely are linked to your mail server rather than your
desktop computer.
You can work online, which means that you read and respond to
messages while connected to the server. Messages are sent as
soon as you tap 
Send, which saves space on your P/PC.
You can also work offline. Once you have downloaded new
message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from
the server and then decide which messages to download
completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the
complete messages you have marked for retrieval and sends the
messages you have composed (see “Receiving messages” for
details).

Receiving messages
When you receive a message, double-tap it to open it.
When you connect to your Internet mail service, by default Inbox
downloads only the first 100 lines of each new message to the
Inbox folder. No mail attachments are downloaded. When you
synchronize with your desktop computer, only the first 50 lines of
each new message are downloaded. The original messages
remain on the mail server or your desktop computer.
You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in their
entirety the next time you synchronize or connect to your mail
service. Select the message, tap 
Service, and then tap 
Retrieve
Full Copy. The icons in the Inbox message list give you visual
indications of message status. 
						

							 Chapter 5 | Sending and receiving e-mail | 63
You specify your downloading preferences when you set up the
service or select your synchronization options. You can change
them at any time.
To change Inbox delivery options for mail synchronization, in the
Mobile Devices window on your desktop computer, select your
P/PC icon, click 
Tools, and then click 
ActiveSync Options.
Select 
Message and then click 
Options. (For the 
Options
button to be available, you must have previously enabled
message synchronization.)
To change Inbox delivery options for remote mail, in Inbox on
your P/PC, tap 
Service and then tap the service name. Then tap
Service again and tap 
Properties.
You need to download a full message before you can view its
attachments.
Microsoft Exchange users can use Inbox to schedule meetings
remotely. Your network administrator must enable Microsoft
rich text support for any accounts that are accessed by mobile
device users.
To process meeting requests, you need to download the complete
message, either by marking specific messages for downloading or
by choosing to download all messages completely during the
service setup. In addition, make sure to enable the 
Meeting
requests option during the service setup.

To compose a new message, tap the 
New Message button on the
toolbar. You can enter an e-mail address in the 
To box, or you

on your desktop computer the next time you synchronize.
They are transmitted to your mail server the next time you
connect remotely. In Inbox, make sure the appropriate service is
selected on the 
Service menu. Then tap

Sending and receiving CompuServe e-mail
If you are a member of CompuServe, you can use Inbox to receive
your CompuServe e-mail on the HP Jornada. To do this, you need
to
·Use the Web browser and Internet account on your desktop
PC (partner) to go to the CompuServe Web site at
www.csi.com/communications.
·Follow the instructions that are provided at that site for
creating a POP3 mailbox. Be sure to choose a mailbox
password that the HP Jornada can support (that is, clear
text).
·Create a connection on the HP Jornada, as described in
“Setting up a dial-up connection to your ISP” on page 59. You
have all the account information you need when you finish
creating your POP3 mailbox at the CompuServe site.
·Set up (and name) the Inbox mail service connection. See
“Using Inbox” on page 61.
After you have completed these initial setup procedures, you are
