Deciding What E-mail Application to Use
Your pdQ smartphone is delivered with two e-mail programs—the Palm Mail and
pdQmail applications. Use the following chart to identify which application is most
advantageous for you. Once you have decided which e-mail application to use, see the
pdQ Applications Handbook for procedures on installing and using it.
Method
Use this method to...
pdQmail

Use this method to send and receive e-mail wirelessly (directly to your
pdQ smartphone over the air). In this method, the pdQmail application
connects to your mail server to retrieve and send messages.
Requirements:
■
Your mail must reside on an Internet-standard (POP3/SMTP) mail
server.
■
Your wireless service provider must provide digital data coverage in
your area. Note that data coverage is not the same as voice coverage,
but both are offered by your service provider.
Advantages and Restrictions:
■
You can receive and send mail on your pdQ smartphone anywhere
you have data coverage (even at the shopping mall or on the
Interstate).

application.

You can send and retrieve messages only via your computer. This is
not a wireless operation.
