Email
How do I send and receive email on my phone?
Use the Email application on your phone to access the many email accounts
you have: company (like Exchange), ISP (like Earthlink or Comcast), and
web-based (like Gmail).
The Palm ® Synergy feature makes it easy to synchronize exactly the data
you want from an online account:
• If you want to sync all your data from an account, set up the account
directly in Email, Contacts, or Calendar: By setting up synchronization in
one app, synchronization of the other apps is automatically set up for you.
For example, if you set up your Google contacts account in Contacts
before you set up Gmail, when you first open Email, you find that your
Gmail messages are already downloaded. And when you first open
Calendar, you find that your Google calendar events are already in your
phone’s Calendar app.
• If you want to specify which apps get data from an online account: Set up
the account using the Accounts application (see Use the Accounts
application to set up an online account).
For email accounts that do not make use of the Synergy feature, you need to
set up the Email account either in the Email application (see Set up email) or
in the Accounts application (see Use the Accounts application to set up an
online account).
You can also use your phone’s web browser to view your web-based
email—just go to the email provider’s website.
Merged inboxes in Email
You can set up multiple email accounts on your phone. When you open
Email, you see all your accounts in a single view: Account List view. From
there, you can open the inbox of an individual account, or you can open the
86 Chapter 6 : Email, text, multimedia, and instant messaging
All Inboxes smart folder and see all messages from all your inboxes displayed
in a merged view.
1 Number to the right of All inboxes indicates the total number of unread email messages in
all your email accounts.
2 Number to the right of individual folder name indicates number of unread messages in that
folder.
If you reply to a message when you’re working in All inboxes, the message is
sent from the same account in which it was received. To reply from a
different account, tap the From field and tap the other account.
If you create a new message when you’re working in All inboxes, the
message goes out using the account you set as the default account (see Set
email preferences).
Set up email
Follow this procedure if you have a common email provider, for example,
AOL, EarthLink, or Yahoo! If you are setting up the Email application to work
with your corporate email account that uses Microsoft Exchange
ActiveSync, see Set up email: Microsoft Exchange.
