Account and connection types
Two types of e-mail accounts are supported:
■ Network: You can send and receive e-mail directly to and from your handheld
by connecting with an e-mail service provider.
■ Synchronize Only (Windows computers only): You can download, view, and
manage e-mail between the handheld and a desktop e-mail application, such as
Microsoft Outlook, by performing a HotSync operation using the HotSync
cradle. You can’t send and receive messages wirelessly or with a modem for an
account of this type.
Using a network account, you can set up or access an e-mail account by using any
of the following connection methods:

Network e-mail account prerequisites
Before you can set up a network e-mail account, you must do the following:
■ Establish the e-mail account with an e-mail service provider. Common
providers include Internet service providers (ISPs) such as Earthlink and
Prodigy. A provider can also be a Global System for Mobile Communications
(GSM) or high-speed wireless (GPRS) carrier such as VoiceStream, Cingular, or
Vodafone. You may also use a corporate e-mail account.
■ Configure the service connection settings for this account on your handheld
using your handheld’s Network Preferences and Connection Preferences
screens. See “Connection Preferences” in Chapter 21 for more information.
