Palm and yahoo mail Help??

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops (More info?)

I haven't actually tried it but VersaMail that came on my Palm T3 apparently
supports Yahoo mail. In the account setup Yahoo is one of the many options
for Mail. If you ahve VersaMail on the Garmin you might take a look at the
Account Setup and the help files.

One other thought is how are you going to get Net access? Do you have a
modem for this device? Do you have dial-in access from your ISP in Asia? You
might just want to consider popping into an Internet Cafe while you're over
there and using a Web browser to access email.

Have you paid for POP3/SMTP access with Yahoo! If not, only browser access
is available.

HotPop.com gives free POP3/SMTP accounts and they have been nearly as
reliable as Yahoo. Frequent testing shows they don't lose messages, but
occasionally their servers are inaccessible for short periods.
