Introduction

VersaMail on a Palm OS-based PDA may be configured to receive email from the Central Mail Service (CMS). The Health Sciences Library provides these instructions as a courtesy to patrons requesting assistance with PDA wireless setup. It does not imply support from ITC for these services on a PDA.

Step By Step

  1. Tap VersaMail (or Email) from the Palm Home screen.
  2. If not prompted to set up an acount, tap the menu icon at the bottom left of the screen, select the Accounts menu, then Account Setup .
  3. Tap New...
  4. Name the account (CMS or your computing id, e.g. mst3k, are suggested).
  5. Select Other as the Mail Service.
  6. Select IMAP as the Protocol, then tap Next .
  7. Enter your computing id (e.g. mst3k) as the username.
  8. Enter the CMS password, then tap Next .
  9. Email address: computing id@virginia.edu (e.g. mst3k@virginia.edu)
  10. Incoming mail server: first letter of id.mail.virginia.edu (e.g. m.mail.virginia.edu)
  11. Outgoing mail server: same as incoming.
  12. Tap Next, then Done .
