6.5.1.3 Types Of E-mail Account
There are a number of different types of e-mail account. See the list below to find
out which types of account you can connect to using the e-mail program on
your NETBOOK PRO.
Personal Dial-up Account
This is most likely a dial-up e-mail account which you’ve signed-up for with an
Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Which ISPs can I use?
You can use most ISPs which use ‘Internet standard’ methods for connecting to
your e-mail account. However, some ISPs (such as America Online) use propri-
etary methods for connecting, and cannot be accessed by your NETBOOK PRO
(i.e. you must use a PC). Move on to ‘Setting up your NETBOOK PRO’ to con-
tinue.
Remote (e.g. Office) E-mail Account
This is most likely an e-mail account at your workplace, e.g. using Microsoft
Exchange or Lotus Notes.
How do I find out if I can use my account?
You will need to find out from your network administrator whether you can
access your e-mail mailbox using this type of account. If you can, move on to
“Setting Up Your NETBOOK PRO” on page 92 to continue.
Web-based E-mail Account
This is an e-mail account that you must connect to using a web browser, such as
HotMail or Yahoo! Mail.
Note: You can’t connect to this type of account using the e-mail program.
To use web-based e-mail, you must first set up your NETBOOK PRO for
Internet access. You will need to use the Internet Explorer program to
access your e-mail provider’s web site.
6.5.1.4 If You Don’t Have An Internet/E-mail Account
You will require an e-mail account before you can access the Internet, and send and
receive e-mail messages on your NETBOOK PRO.
