Query Applications and the iMessenger™ Application
Using the iMessenger application
In addition to the Mail application and infrared (IR) beaming,
which are explained in Chapter 6, your organizer offers you
another way to stay in communication with others: wireless
Internet messaging.
By activating the Palm.Net wireless communication service, you
acquire an address and mailbox on the Palm.Net network. You can
then use the iMessenger application to send and receive short text
messages. Whenever you’re within coverage of the network, you can
use the iMessenger application to be in contact with anyone who has
an Internet e-mail account.
In the iMessenger application, you can do the following:
■
Download messages waiting for you on the Palm.Net network.
■
Read, delete, reply to, and reroute incoming messages.
■
Create outgoing messages and drafts of messages.
■
Send messages to any Internet e-mail address directly from your
organizer.
The iMessenger application differs
from the Mail application
The iMessenger application is completely independent of the Mail
application. You use them differently, and they do not interact in any
way. You do not have to choose between Mail and the iMessenger
application, however. You can use both.
One convenient similarity between the iMessenger application and
Mail is this: skills you learn in one application you can easily transfer
to the tasks you do in the other. For example, writing text, looking up
addresses, viewing header information, saving drafts, and purging
deleted items are all done the same way in both applications.
Mail depends on your computer
You use Mail to manage the e-mail that you receive in your desktop
computer’s E-Mail application. When you create e-mail items in Mail,
