Chapter 13 Using Palm™ VersaMail™ Personal E-mail Software

Selecting a different service for a given e-mail account
When you set up connections on your handheld (on the Connection Preferences
screen), you pair each connection with a network service (on the Network
Preferences screen) and then select one of these services to be the default for all
network activity (sending and receiving e-mail, surfing the web, and so on) on
your handheld. By default, the VersaMail application uses this service for sending
and receiving messages for all e-mail accounts you set up. See “Setting
Communication Preferences” in Chapter 16 for information on setting up the
default service for your handheld.
However, for any given e-mail account, you have the option of switching to a
different service for use with that account only. For example, the default service
you have selected for your handheld may be called Modem and may use a modem
accessory (sold separately) to make a dial-up connection to your e-mail service
provider. You may also have set up an e-mail account called My Earthlink, which
connects using the Modem service by default. However, if you travel into a
location at which you cannot use your modem accessory, you may want to switch
your My Earthlink account to the service called Infrared, which connects to your
e-mail service provider using a connection from the IR port on your handheld to
the IR port on your infrared-enabled mobile phone.
To set up a service for a given e-mail account (different from the default service for your handheld):
1. From the Inbox of the account you want to switch, tap Get Mail.
2. Tap Details.
