Seeking Email advice

[dcart]

I have the I300. I do not have the PCS vision service, just the wireless web. I'm currently using MsgAgent to check pop3 email. The big inconvenience for me is that it doesn't replace or sync with the mail program that comes with the palm os. I would like something that can serve as my only mail client--that would sync up with the mail app on the palm desktop and that can do pop3 email. And, of course, if it's free or really cheap that would be ideal. :)
Any suggestions?

contact sprint level2 tier support or a wirless web technician,
you can call from *2 or at 888 211 4727
they can walk you step by step on how to do this using w/web

as for transfering to your "mail" box icon you must sync it using outlook. this is inside your pc and sprint will not help you with this!

you will need to have you downloaded it to your desktop or have been able to retrieve your mail using blazer 2.0 (browse web)

Thanks for the reply. I don't know if I was clear in what I'm trying to accomplish in my original post. I use msg agent to check non-sprint pop 3 email from my home cable modem account.
I use MsgAgent to do that. What I want is a program that can check that pop 3 email and that will sync with outlook so that I can remove the standard palm mail client. THe program doesn't need to be I300 specific.

Erm, no. Nobody misunderstood your question.

The built-in Palm Mail app is only for syncing with desktop e-mail. Use Eudora. It's free. It supports clickable URLs, multiple mailboxes and filtering rules. It supports POP-before-SMTP and SMTP authentication for sending messages out via your own servers, and you can safely sync desktop mail to one folder and fetch POP mail to another. You can't get rid of the Palm Mail app because it's in ROM. I do think there's a hackmaster thingy out there that would let you hide it from the application list, as well as medication that will greatly diminish the symptoms of OCD.

There are "simpler" approaches that only a monk on a hunger strike could love. I doubt you'd much like the mail you fetch via POP to get lumped in with your desktop mail with no way to reply wirelessly, much less via separate accounts. There are also more complex Palm mail programs that do all sorts of stuff it doesn't sound like you need (IMAP and attachment support, for instance). Eudora will do everything you're describing except make the Palm Mail icon go away.

If you're asking how to use the software you already have and won't accept any other option, that's not anyone else's problem.

I think your quest is not going to end satisfactorily. As hatless points out the only transfer agent to get from outlook's Inbox to the Palm, email app is the Palm Mail conduit or the MultiMail Conduit.

On a slightly different subject I forward all of my email from five different accounts to my one account at FastMail.fm. It is a great way to get hotmail, Yahoo or MSM to your Outlook Inbox and it is a real lifesaver for me when I am using my Omnisky Wireless modem.
I can set fastmail to do things ATT refuses to do.

Dear dcart,

I experienced some fatal errors when I tried to sync my Eudora with MS Outlook Express. I'm not sure if this was an isoloated event or not, but I can say that it happened several different times (removing Eudora and re-installing it) on my device. I am using the SPH-i330.

The problems came up after performing a HotSync session, just normal backing up and sync'ing of everyday data, while not having any email in my Eudora folders (inbox, drafts, etc..). When I opened Eudora to check my email later that day, it gave me a Fatal Alert, and continued to do so from that moment on. In other words, I could not use Eudora. The only way I found to prevent this from happening so that I could continue to use Eudora was to set the sync options for Eudora (on handheld device and under HotSync custom menu) to "Do Nothing" when sync'ing. But then I ran into some other problems with the program. If you do decide to try Eudora, just remember that they do not provide customer support. Use at your own risk!

Best Regards,

Jason
