How to Check Webmail on a Dell Axim

The Dell Axim allows you to connect directly to an email server and bring your web mail to the palm of your hand. The Axim can handle just about any email account, even an account with multiple mailboxes, once it's properly set up. Follow these steps to check web mail on a Dell Axim.

Things You'll Need

• Internet access
• Dell Axim

Instructions

1. Turn on your Axim to access the "Start" screen and tap "Programs." From here, choose "Messaging." You can also access it by pressing the dedicated "Messaging" button on the front of the Dell Axim. Tap "Accounts" and then select "New Account."

2. Use the email setup wizard to name the email service you want to have on your Dell Axim. You can have one service that connects to more than one mailbox, but you'll need to set up and name each mailbox as a separate connection with the wizard.

3. Wake up your modem or open a network connection so you can get on line. Tap "Accounts" to find the name of the account you created. Tap" Connect" to get your email server ready for business. Once you've stored an account in the Axim, you can skip the set up and go straight to the messages.

4. Scan the subject lines and select the messages you want to download to your Dell Axim. You can work off line or read your web mail while connected to the server.

Tips & Warnings

• Your Dell Axim has on-board support. Any time you need more information or advice, you can tap the "Start" button and then access the "Help" menu.

• If you get web mail directly from the email server, the messages are linked to the server, not to your computer. This means that if you read and delete an email message from the server using your Dell Axim, the message will be not be available later if you connect from your computer.

• Viruses, worms and spyware are in abundant supply on the Internet. Use firewall security software and run virus scans on email attachments before opening.
