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.

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’.

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).

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.

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.
