Hello All,

Just received my Axim 30 today. Charged it for a bit and started playing. I syned up through my desktop.

I will be setting up a wireless network at home shortly.

What do I need to do to acess my e-mail from my ISP Server via the PDA using the wireless network.?


Thanks,
John

Congrats on your new Axim!

For all the good wi-fi info you could ever want check HERE Tons on info.

As far as setting up your email if you currently use Outlook or Outlook express you use the same type of POP3 settings you used in setting that up for the Axim. If you don't use them you can check your ISP site for instructions for POP3 settings. Then go to Messaging->Accounts->New Account on your Axim to start setting it up.

Below is a cut and paste of some general instructions people have used in the past that worked for them. Some of the settings may need to be tweeked for your ISP and such. If you have problems just ask and we can help. Try to give as much info as possible. Good Luck!

Adam

Start>Messaging>Accounts>New Account

Page 1/4 ~ E-mail Address
This is easy, enter your email address
Next....

Page 2/4 ~ User information
The "your name" part is what ever you want. It has no bearing on the settings.

User name is the part of your email before the @ sign (ie USERNAME@<isp>.com)

Password is your email password

Check the box for Save Password
Next....

Page 3/4 ~ Account information

Account type is POP3

Account Name is what ever you want it to be. If you set up more then one this can be very helpfull. I just used my username, same as the last page.

next....

Page 4/4 ~ Server information

This is where it can be a little different for some people. 99% of the time it is MAIL.<ISP>.COM, From looking at the Comcast site it appears they use MAIL.COMCAST.NET for the incomming and SMTP.COMCAST.NET for the out going. You can try these. But this is one of the areas you might have to tinker with. For example changing both to MAIL.COMCAST.NET

The domain you can just leave blank.

Options.....

Options page 1/3

I would not check this box for checking for messages every X# of minutes. If you are not online you will get an error message every X# of minutes.

Next....

Options Page 2/3

Here I checked the box for "Outgoing mail requiers authentication" as well as "Use separate settings"

Outgoing Settings....

Outgoing server settings

For username here I had to use my entire email address. This was very different then the rest of the set up.

Enter your password

Leave the domain blank

Check the box for save password

Check the box for "Require SSL for outgoing mail

Click OK in the upper right corner

Next....

Options page 3/3

In order to save space I would select "Get message headers only"

Check the box marked include and select 2K

Finish....
