Connecting A PC To Access Your Mailbox
This is for connecting directly to a PC that can access your mailbox. Using
ActiveSync's ‘Inbox Synchronization’, you can write e-mails on your netpad,
and then connect to your PC to send and receive messages.
How do I do this?
To access your mailbox via a PC, you will first need to install ActiveSync on the
PC and set up a partnership to use ‘Inbox Synchronization’.
7.4.1.3 Types Of E-mail Account
There are a number of different types of e-mail account. See the list below to find
out which types of account you can connect to using the e-mail program on
your netpad.
Personal Dial-up Account
This is most likely a dial-up e-mail account which you’ve signed-up for with an
Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Which ISPs can I use?
You can use most ISPs which use ‘Internet standard’ methods for connecting to
your e-mail account. However, some ISPs (such as America Online) use propri-
etary methods for connecting, and cannot be accessed by your netpad (i.e. you
must use a PC). Move on to ‘Setting up your netpad’ to continue.
Remote (e.g. Office) E-mail Account
This is most likely an e-mail account at your workplace, e.g. using Microsoft
Exchange or Lotus Notes.
How do I find out if I can use my account?
You will need to find out from your network administrator whether you can
access your e-mail mailbox using this type of account. If you can, move on to
“Setting Up Your netpad” on page 78 to continue.
