Chapter 6 Page 143 Chapter 6 Communicating Using Your Handheld The previous chapter described the features of your handheld that help you stay organized. This chapter describes the features that help you stay connected. nManaging desktop E-Mail: Using your handheld, you can read, reply to, compose, and delete e-mail from your Windows desktop E-Mail application while you’re away from your desk. nIR beaming: The infrared port located at the top of your handheld lets you send data from your handheld — including entire applications — to any other Palm OS ® handheld that’s close by and also equipped with an IR port. Managing desktop E-Mail away from your desk Mail lets you manage the e-mail that you send and receive through the E-Mail application on your Windows desktop computer. You can read, reply to, compose, and delete e-mail on your handheld; but to send or receive e-mail, you must perform a HotSync ® operation either directly or indirectly. Direct methods include placing your handheld in the cradle attached to your computer, or using infrared communications. Indirect methods include using a modem, or using network HotSync technology. The key to Mail is that it truly synchronizes the mail in the Inbox of your desktop E-Mail application with the mail on your handheld. For example, if you delete e-mail items from Mail, your next HotSync operation also deletes the e-mail items from your desktop E-Mail application, so you never have to delete e-mail items twice. Similarly, if you read an e-mail item on your handheld and leave it in your Inbox, your next HotSync operation marks it as read in your desktop E-Mail application.
Page 144 Communicating Using Your Handheld In Mail, you can do the following: nView, delete, file, and reply to incoming mail. nCreate outgoing e-mail items and drafts of e-mail items. nCreate simple or complex filters, which allow you to decide the type of e-mail that your handheld retrieves from your desktop E-mail application. nUse your handheld to send and retrieve e-mail items from your desktop E-Mail application via the cradle or infrared communications. Setting up Mail on the desktop Before you use Mail for the first time, make sure your desktop E-Mail application is up and running. You must also set up Palm™ Desktop software for use with your desktop E-Mail application. Your handheld supports a number of desktop E-Mail applications, for Microsoft Windows, such as: n Microsoft Exchange (version 5.0 or higher) n QUALCOMM Eudora (version 3.0.1 or higher) n Lotus cc:Mail (6.0 or higher) nMicrosoft Outlook 97 (or higher) nMicrosoft Outlook Express nNetscape Communicator (version 4.5 or higher) You can see the full list of the supported applications when you set up Mail. If your desktop E-Mail application does not appear on the list, you may still be able to manage your desktop E-Mail application from your handheld by means of special connection software, called a conduit, that lets you synchronize your desktop E-Mail application and your handheld. Contact the vendor of your E-Mail application or visit the web site http://www.palm.com for more information. Note:The following instructions assume that you have already installed Palm Desktop software on your computer and that you did not set up Mail during the installation. If you have not yet installed the Palm Desktop software, the installation procedure prompts you to set up Mail as part of the Palm Desktop software installation.
