eSetup - Email & Internet setup
Before you startHow can I use email on my Revo?
You can use your Revo to send and receive email
messages using either one, or both, of the following
methods:
1. Connecting by telephone to a “Remote”
mailbox. This is when you make a “dial-up”
connection to your email mailbox via a
telephone line (without needing a PC). For
example, you could access your personal mailbox
by dialling your Internet Service Provider (ISP), or
access your work mailbox by dialling your
company’s service provider or office mailbox.What to do next
If you want to access your work mailbox, contact your
network administrator to find out whether you can make
a ‘remote’ (dial-up) connection to your mailbox.
Use eSetup to set up your Revo to access email
accounts and the Internet. To set up your Revo,
follow these steps:
1.Read the ‘Before you start’ section to find out
how you can use email on your Revo, and the
types of email “account” you can access.
2.Read the ‘Finding out your Internet settings’
section to find out what information you’ll need
to enter in eSetup.
3.Read the ‘Using eSetup’ section to find out how
to enter your settings in eSetup.
See the ‘Email & SMS’ chapter for information on
using the Email program.

2. Connecting to a PC which can access your
mailbox. This is when you connect directly to a
PC which can access your mailbox. Using
PsiWin’s ‘Email Synchronization’, you can write
emails off-line on your Revo, and then connect to
your PC to send and receive messages.How do I do this?
To access your mailbox via a PC, install PsiWin and the
Email Synchronization plug-in on your PC. This
Handbook does not include information on Email
Synchronization. See the PsiWin on-line Help for
assistance on using Email Synchronization.
What type of email accounts can I use?
There are a number of different types of email
account. See the list below to find out which types of
account you can connect to with your Revo:
·A personal “dial-up” account. This could be a
dial-up email account which you’ve signed-up for
with an Internet Service Provider (ISP), e.g.
Freeserve or Pipex Dial.
Which ISPs can I use?
You can use most ISPs which use ‘Internet standard’
methods for connecting to your email account. However,
some ISPs (such as America Online) use proprietary
methods for connecting, and cannot be accessed by your
Revo (i.e. you must use a PC).
·A remote (e.g. office) email account. This could
be an email account at your workplace, e.g. using
Lotus cc:Mail or Microsoft Mail.How do I find out if I can use my account?
You will need to find out from your network administrator
whether you can access your email mailbox using this
type of account.
·A Web based email account. This is an email
account which you must connect to using a Web
browser, e.g. HotMail or Yahoo! Mail.You can’t connect to this type of account using the
Email program. To access the account, install the
Web program 
 from the PsiWin CD ROM.

If you don’t have an email account
You will require an email account before you can
send and receive email messages on your Revo.
·To get a personal email account, you must ‘sign-
up’ with an Internet Service Provider (ISP). ISPs
usually provide an email account as part of an
Internet access package, which may also include
Web access.
·Most ISPs will provide software (e.g. a CD ROM)
which will help you set up Internet access and
the email account on a PC.Important
Some ISPs require that you connect to them using a PC
in order to sign-up. If you can’t do this, contact the ISP to
find out if you can sign-up without using a PC. If you
have Internet access, see www.mobile.psion.com for
more details.
Finding out your Internet settingsWhat do I need to use email?
To send and receive email on your Revo you must
have the following:
1.An appropriate Email account. To access the
Internet and use email, you will need an Internet
‘standard’ email account. See the previous
section, ‘Before you start’, for more details.
2.A Modem. You will need a modem to connect
your Revo to the telephone network. You can
use the following types of modem with your
Revo:
·Mobile phones with built-in Infrared modems.
·Standard external PC modems.
·Psion 56k Travel Modem.

eSetup – Email & Internet setup
3.A telephone connection. If you are using a Psion
56k Travel Modem (or standard external PC
modem), you will need to connect your modem
to a telephone socket. If you are using a mobile
phone, your network operator will need to
enable your SIM (Subscriber Identity Module)
card so that you can make data calls on your
phone. If your phone has been enabled for data
calls, you should have an extra phone number.
Contact your network operator if you are unsure
whether your phone’s SIM card is “data-enabled”.Getting help
If you are having connection problems, you can find
information about connecting using specific service
providers, modems or mobile phones on our Web site at
www.mobile.psion.com.
What information do I need?
Before you can set up your Revo, you will need to
find out some information about your modem and
your Internet email account by:
·Checking any documentation your ISP supplied
about your Internet account, or contacting your
network administrator at work.
·Checking your ISP’s Web site for technical
support.
·Contacting your ISP by email or phone for
technical support.
·Checking the Psion Web site at
www.mobile.psion.com for details of worldwide
ISPs.
