These
instructions assume that you have already setup your Palm OS based
device and are familiar with installing applications to it. If you
need additional instructions for setting up your device, please refer
to the included documentation from your carrier, or visit Palm's
Support page and specify the device that you have.
1. If you have not
configured VersaMail previously, the application will prompt you to
create a new account. Otherwise, open VersaMail and go to
Accounts-->Account Setup. Begin by configuring the Account Setup
(you can fill in whatever you want for Account Name). Click
Next.
2. Fill in your
NetID for your Username and your password for Password. Click
Next.
3. Fill in your
email address as appropriate, (yourNetID@newschool.edu).
Enter
pop.newschool.edu for both your incoming mail server and smtp.newschool.edu for your outgoing mail server. Click Next.
4. Click
Done.

The rest of
the email configurations are up to the end user, but here are some
suggested settings:
1. The general preferences menu contains
all of the user specified settings. While there are many options here,
there is one in particular that we recommend. Under the VersaMail
general preferences, go to Advanced-->Connections
2. Change the
default Timeout from 45 seconds to a longer period of
time (120 Seconds is
recommended). This should minimize the
amount of "Server Connection Lost" messages the end user receives.
3. Return to the
Preferences menu, and select Auto Sync. Check the Auto Sync box and
select the
schedule within which you prefer to receive your
email.
