Page 150 Application Specific Tasks Chapter 7 Communicating Using Your Handheld The previous chapter described the features of your Visor handheld computer that help you stay organized. This chapter describes the features that help you stay connected. s 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. IR beaming: The infrared port located on the side of your handheld lets you send data from your handheld -- including entire applications -- to any other Palm OS® handheld that's close by and has an IR port. See "IR HotSync operations" in Chapter 8 for details. s 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. To send or receive e-mail, you must perform a HotSync® operation either locally, using the handheld cradle or infrared port, or remotely, using a modem or network. The key to Mail is that it truly synchronizes the mail in the Inbox of 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. Chapter 7 Page 151 In Mail, you can do the following: s s s View, delete, file, and reply to incoming mail. Create simple or complex filters, which allow you to decide the type of e-mail that your handheld retrieves from your desktop E-mail application. Use your handheld in its cradle or infrared communication to send and retrieve e-mail items from your desktop E-Mail application. s Setting up Mail on the desktop Before you use Mail for the first time, make sure your desktop E-Mail application is up and running. You must also set up PalmTM Desktop software for use with your desktop E-Mail application. Your handheld supports a number of Windows desktop E-Mail applications, such as Microsoft Exchange (version 4. 0 or higher), QUALCOMM Eudora (version 3. 0. 3 or higher), and Lotus cc:Mail (versions 2. 5, 6. 0, and 7. 0). You can see the full list of the supported applications when you set up Mail. If your desktop E-Mail application does not appear on the list, you may still be able to manage your desktop E-Mail application from your handheld by means of special connection software, called a conduit, that lets you synchronize your desktop E-Mail application and your handheld. Contact the vendor of your E-Mail application or visit the web site www. handspring. com for more information. Note: The following instructions assume that you have already installed Palm Desktop software on your computer and that you did not set up Mail during the installation. If you have not yet installed the Palm Desktop software, the installation procedure prompts you to set up Mail as part of the Palm Desktop software installation. To set up Mail: 1. Highlight Programs, highlight Palm Desktop software, and then click Mail Setup to begin setup.
