Sending and receiving email
If you have activated data services, you’re ready to set up your Treo for email. These
steps differ depending on who provides your email service.
•
Mail: The built-in email application on Treo that provides wireless access to an
existing POP3 email account. See the sections that follow for details.
• Other wireless email services: Your wireless service provider may offer a wireless
email service to which you can subscribe with your service plan. Contact your
wireless service provider for details.
• Third-party email applications: A number of third-party developers offer Palm OS
email applications. Consult the email application’s documentation to learn how to
set it up.
Setting up Mail
The first time you use Mail, you need to set it up on your Treo. If you have multiple
email accounts, you can set up Mail to access more than one account. To use Mail,
you must have:
• Wireless account with data services activated.
• Email account with an email service provider that supports the POP3 protocol.
Examples include Sympatico, Earthlink, SBC, and AT&T Worldnet. Contact your
email provider to determine if your account is POP3-compatible. If it is not
compatible, contact your wireless service provider to learn about their corporate
email solutions, or use a third-party solution.
The Mail application is
compatible with regular
POP3 email accounts.
Other accounts, such as
corporate or web-only
email, require special
applications, if available.
