64 Chapter 6 : Email, text, multimedia, and instant messaging
Send email messages from within another application
Use the share feature in any application that supports this to send an item
as an attachment to an email message. This feature is available in the
Adobe Reader and Memos applications, among others. Depending on
the app, this feature may be accessed from a menu that might be named
Share, Send, or Email, or it might be accessed from an icon. For details,
see the section in this guide on the specific application.
Messaging: All messages in one application
What kinds of messages can I send and receive?
You can use the Messaging application to send and receive the following
types of messages:
• Instant messages for an IM account you already have set up online (see
Set up an instant messaging (IM) account). Instant messaging is
available only when your device is connected to a Wi-Fi network (see
Connect to a new open network or Connect to a new secure network).
• Text messages (see Create and send a text message). This feature is
available only if your device is connected to a compatible HP webOS
smartphone (see Connect your device to a webOS smartphone).
The Synergy feature enables the Messaging app to gather all your
messages to and from the same contact into a single conversation
(sometimes called a “thread”). So you can see your entire message
history with someone regardless of the different methods you happened to
use to communicate with that person (see Work with conversations). You
can even switch from account to account (and, if your device is connected
to a compatible webOS smartphone, from IM to text messaging) without
losing the thread of your conversation (see Switch between messaging
accounts in a conversation)—just pick the messaging account that’s most
likely to keep you in unbroken contact with the person you’re talking to.
Work with conversations
When you exchange more than one message with a person, the
messages are grouped into a conversation. When you start or continue a
conversation, the upper part of Conversations view displays all messages
you’ve exchanged with this person, and the bottom part provides the area
where you type your next message.
You can carry on multiple conversations at the same time.
