Sending and receiving
messages with Mail
If you have activated data services (such as GPRS), 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 mobile email services: Your mobile service provider may offer a
wireless email service to which you can subscribe with your service plan.
Contact your mobile 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:
• Mobile account with data services activated.
• Email account with an email service provider that supports the POP3
protocol. Examples include Tiscali, Wanadoo, and Freeserve. Contact your
email provider to determine if your account is POP3 compatible. If not,
contact your mobile service provider to learn about their corporate email
solutions, or use a third-party solution.
