Hotmail

[Habitatrider]

Is there anyway to get hotmail on my clie? I don't have wireless. I want to be able to sync all of my mail in the morning, reply throughout the day and sync at night to send it... is this possible? any help would be great.

also, if i got a usb bluetooth adapter for my computer, would i be able to access the internet from my clie if i was in my house?

aaaaaaaaahhhhhh

after looking through old posts....i realized i have no idea what any of this stuff is.. this is what i want to do. I have a gateway computer with winxp pro, a d-link ethernet broadband router, a d-link usb hub, and a western digital external harddrive. I want to connect to the internet with my nz90 via bluetooth...how do i do it. I am not very computer smart so i need it to be in very stupid terms... step by step if possible. o yea... i have msn for internet. thanks

Not sure I can give the whole answer, but I do use bluetooth on my NZ-90 to connect to the internet for web surfing and hotmail. www.palmx.org has a whole bunch of FAQs on this topic, so you need to look there too.


1. Get a bluetooth USB adapter (I use Belkin) and install the drivers on your Xp box. Pair up the Clie and the XP box and establish that they can talk to each other.

2. Enable internet connection sharing on your XP box (it's part of XP)

3. Download and install Mocha PPP on the XP box so that the Bluetooth connections supports PPP.

4. If you've got the connection established, you should be home-free. Check www.palmx.org for the details.

or you could buy the WL100 or 110 CF Lan card for your NZ90, and then you'll be able to use your NZ90 with your home lan... you'll get a much greater range than with bluetooth (basically your whole house, vs only a single room with bluetooth), and you'll also be able to use your clie with other wifi hotspots around town. Not to mention wifi is faster, not that speed probably matters much. Since you'll have to buy a bluetooth adapter anyway, may as well spend a bit more and get the wifi card.

If you just want to hotsync Hotmail from your desktop to your clie, then try "Hotmail Popper". It's freeware available at www.boolean.ca

This program runs on the desktop with any POP email client, such as Eudora, Outlook, Outlook Express, and Netscape. It downloads the contents of your Hotmail inbox and other designated Hotmail folders into your POP mail inbox. Then a regular Clie hotsync will move the contents of your POP mail inbox, including the Hotmail messages, to your clie.

It requires some technical knowledge to setup but it's not that difficult.
