Managing Desktop E-Mail
and Beaming Information
In addition to web clipping and wireless Internet messaging, your
Palm VII™ handheld offers features to help you stay connected:
■
Managing desktop E-Mail
: Using your handheld, you can read, reply
to, compose, and delete e-mail from your desktop E-Mail
application while you’re away from your desk.
Note:
The Mail feature is completely independent of the
iMessenger
®
application for wireless Internet messaging.
Mail does not use the transmitter or the wireless
communication service. See “The iMessenger application
differs from the Mail application” in Chapter 5 for details.
■
IR beaming
: The infrared port located at the top of your handheld
lets you send data from your handheld — including entire
applications — to any other Palm OS
®
handheld that’s close by
and also equipped with an IR port.
Managing desktop E-Mail
away from your desk
Mail lets you manage the e-mail that you send and receive
through the E-Mail application on your desktop computer. You
can read, reply to, compose, and delete e-mail on your
handheld; but to send or receive e-mail, you must perform a HotSync
®
operation either directly or indirectly. Direct methods include placing
your handheld in the cradle attached to your computer, or using
infrared communications. Indirect methods include using a modem,
or using network HotSync technology.
Mail truly synchronizes the Inbox in your desktop E-Mail application
with the mail on your handheld. For example, if you delete e-mail
items from Mail, your next HotSync operation also deletes the e-mail
items from your desktop E-Mail application, so you never have to
delete e-mail items twice. Similarly, if you read an e-mail item on your
handheld and leave it in your Inbox, your next HotSync operation
marks it as read in your desktop E-Mail application.
