Setting Communication Preferences
255
To send and receive e-mail directly from and to your handheld, you must create a
configuration in Connection Preferences, and then create Network Preferences
settings. See
“Connection Preferences” earlier in this chapter for a complete
explanation of how to define connection configurations that enable your handheld
to communicate with remote devices.
After you configure both the Connection and Network Preferences, you can
establish a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) connection with your ISP or dial-in server.
You can do this either by using menu commands from the Network Preferences
screen or by using a third-party application.
NOTE
The Network Preferences settings enable you to connect to your ISP or dial-in
server with applications that support viewing the transmitted data. Visit
www.palm.com for information on third-party applications that take advantage of
TCP/IP.
Creating and selecting network service profiles
Use network service profiles to store the configuration settings for your ISP or for
a dial-in server. You can create, save, and reuse network service profiles. You can
create additional network service profiles from scratch or by duplicating existing
profiles and editing information. After you create a new or duplicate profile, you
can add and edit settings.
To add a new network service profile:
1.
From the Communications Preferences list, select Network.
