Synchronizing an existing username
If you plan to synchronize your Palm Tungsten T3 handheld with an existing
username by performing a HotSync operation, you must do so before you enter
your e-mail account information in the VersaMail application. If you enter the e-
mail account information first and then synchronize your handheld to an existing
username, the e-mail account information you entered is overwritten.
Upgrading a MultiMail/VersaMail database
If you have previously used a Palm personal e-mail application such as MultiMail
SE or MultiMail Deluxe, or an earlier version of the VersaMail application, you can
upgrade your e-mail database for use with the VersaMail 2.6 application.
To upgrade an existing e-mail database for use with the VersaMail application:
1.
Perform a HotSync operation with a user profile that contains the existing
e-mail database. To do so, tap the HotSync icon
, and then select a profile that
contains an e-mail database from the displayed list of users.
2.
Tap the VersaMail icon .
3.
Tap Yes to accept the upgrade.
Setting up and managing e-mail accounts
With the VersaMail application, you can set up accounts on your handheld to
access e-mail accounts from providers such as Earthlink or Yahoo; to access your
corporate e-mail with the appropriate mail server configuration (see
“Using a
corporate e-mail account” later in this chapter for more information); or to
synchronize e-mail messages with a desktop e-mail application.
You can add up to eight e-mail accounts on your handheld.
