Sending and receiving business e-mail on your handheld

9

Checking the installation of Desktop Link

When your Business account is successfully installed, you receive a Welcome 
message in MultiMail Deluxe on your handheld. 

IMPORTANT

Do not proceed until you see the Welcome message in your Business 

account. It may take two to five minutes for this message to appear.

To check for a Welcome message:

1.

Press the MultiMail Deluxe button 

.

2.

Tap the Menu icon 

.

3.

Tap Accounts, and then tap Business.

4.

Wait at least two minutes for the Welcome message.

5.

If the Welcome message does not appear, tap Get Mail to download new 
messages.

To receive this message, your handheld must have adequate wireless coverage. 

Next, test Desktop Link by sending an e-mail message to yourself from your 
desktop computer. The message should appear on your desktop computer and on 
your handheld.

Sending and receiving business e-mail on your handheld

Once Desktop Link is installed on your business computer and you have verified 
its installation, e-mail is automatically sent wirelessly between Outlook on your 
business computer and MultiMail Deluxe on your handheld. 

To send and receive messages on your handheld, the radio in your handheld must 
be on and have adequate wireless network coverage.

There may be times when the radio in your handheld is not on, because you have 
turned it off or decided to turn it on only at specific, scheduled times, or your 
handheld is out of range of a wireless transmitter. 

To turn on the radio in your handheld:

1.

Press and hold the Wireless button 

2.

Tap Always On to keep the radio on all the time, even when the handheld is 
turned off.

To conserve the battery, you may want to schedule the radio to turn on and off at 
specific times each day.
