You can enter a new event on any of the available time lines. When you schedule an event, its description appears on the time line, and its duration is automatically set to one hour. You can easily change the start time and duration for any event.It’s possible to schedule events that overlap, but Date Book makes it easy to find such conflicts. See “Spotting event conflicts” later in this chapter.You can also schedule events in your Date Book that occur on a particular date but have no specific start or end times, such as birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries. These are referred to as “untimed events.” Untimed events appear at the top of the list of times, marked with a diamond. You can have more than one untimed event on a particular date.You can also schedule a repeating event, such as a weekly meeting, and continuous events, such as a three-day conference or a vacation.To schedule an event for the current day:1.

Press Function + Enter , or tap OK.Considerations for repeating or continuous eventsKeep the following points in mind:■If you change the start date of a repeating event, your handheld calculates the number of days you moved the event. Your handheld then automatically changes the end date to maintain the duration of the repeating event.■If you change the repeat interval (e.g., daily to weekly) of a repeating event, past occurrences (prior to the day on which you change the setting) are not changed, and your handheld creates a new repeating event.■If you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating event (e.g., from January 14th to January 15th) and apply the change to all occurrences, the new date becomes the start date of the repeating event. Your handheld adjusts the end date to maintain the duration of the event. If you apply the change to current and future occurrences, past occurrences are not changed.■If you change other repeat settings (e.g., time, alarm, private) of a repeating event and apply the change to all occurrences, your handheld creates a new event. The start date of this new event is the day on which the setting is changed. ■If you apply a change to a single occurrence of a repeating event (e.g., time), that occurrence no longer shows the Repeat icon .Palm, Inc.

161CHAPTER 17Using Palm™ VersaMail™Personal E-mail SoftwareIMPORTANT Depending on where you purchased your Palm™ Tungsten™ W handheld, you may have Palm™ VersaMail™ personal e-mail software installed on your handheld, or you may have a third-party e-mail application installed. If you have the VersaMail application installed on your handheld, read this chapter. If you have a third-party e-mail application installed, refer to the e-mail application documentation that came with your handheld for information.With the VersaMail application, you can send, receive, and manage e-mail on your handheld. This chapter describes how to set up different types of e-mail accounts and explains how to use the many e-mail features in the VersaMail application. The VersaMail application is the newest offering in the line of Palm personal e-mail software applications. Formerly known as MultiMail® software, the VersaMail application contains new features that make sending and receiving e-mail messages and managing e-mail accounts easier than ever. Key features of the VersaMail 2.0 application include the following:■Support for both the Tungsten W navigator and keyboard, simplifying data entry and navigation■Support for both the built-in GSM (dial-up) and GPRS (high-speed) radio in your handheld, enabling wireless e-mail connectivityNOTE If you want to use the built-in GPRS or GSM radio in your handheld to make a network connection, you must set up service with a GPRS or GSM provider. Palm, Inc. Confidential

Setting up and managing e-mail accounts163Setting up and managing e-mail accountsWith the VersaMail application, you can access e-mail accounts from providers such as Earthlink or Yahoo. Some companies may also allow access to corporate e-mail with the appropriate mail server configuration. See “Accessing corporate e-mail” later in this chapter for more information.You can add up to eight e-mail accounts on your handheld by setting up a connection to a network provider or synchronizing to a desktop e-mail application. For example, if you have a Yahoo e-mail account with POP access, you can create a new account in the VersaMail application and name that new account Yahoo, so that you can send and receive e-mail on your handheld using your Yahoo account.Account and connection typesTwo types of e-mail accounts are supported:■Network: You can send and receive e-mail directly to and from your handheld by connecting with a network provider.■Synchronize 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 cradle/cable. 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 using any of the following connection methods:■Built-in GPRS (high-speed) and GSM (dial-up) radio on your handheld■Palm™ Bluetooth Card (sold separately) attached through the expansion card slot connecting to a mobile phone or local access point that is enabled with Bluetooth technology■PalmModem® accessory (sold separately)■External modem sled (for example, 802.11 sled)■Infrared (IR) port on the handheld to infrared port on a mobile phone■Direct connection to a mobile phone by means of a physical cable■Handheld cradle connected to your desktop (Windows users only)Setting up the default account that came with your handheldDepending on where you purchased your handheld, you may have a default e-mail account preconfigured by a carrier.

By default, the VersaMail application uses this default service for sending and receiving messages for all e-mail accounts you set up. However, for any given e-mail account, you have the option of switching to a different service for use with that account only.

You may also have set up an e-mail account called My Earthlink, which runs on the My GPRS connection by default. However, if you travel into an area that does not have GPRS coverage, you may want to switch your My Earthlink account to the service called Earthlink GSM, which uses a GSM dial-up connection.Palm, Inc.
