Re: Synchronizing Treo 650
For those that have exchange servers at work, I highly recommend Good Technology's mail stuff. Runs on the 650, 600 or the old blackberry devices. Its much better than versamail. I guess its my years of blackberrying but I can thumb type at about 50 wpm... Lol about graffiti ;-) -Original Message- From: Harry Corsover [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sun Jun 19 15:55:10 2005 To: G-Books Subject:Re: Synchronizing Treo 650 Thanks, Sionnach. On Jun 16, 2005, at 2:34 PM, Sionnach Aisling wrote: The main piece we had trouble with was VersaMail. Is that different than the built-in Mail application? So far at least, I have no plans to use the Treo for email. If I did, I'd have to get a separate email address that only a few people have. Otherwise, I'd get inundated with hundreds of email a day (I'm on quite a few lists). My wife wanted to be able to send/recieve email. Well, VersaMail comes wiht your Palm... sortof. Verizon recompiled Palm's install CD to make it their own and in doing so left out a LOT of the functionality for Macs. In fact, their own instruction manual (Verizon's) says Mac users will have to install VersaMail from the CD... But try to do that from a Mac... you can't. They didn't incorporate a Mac installer. I had to take my wifes Treo 650 upstairs, hook it up to my PC, pop the disk in and install VersaMail from there. After that, it would sync and work fine from her iBook. I don't have a PC, but I do have Virtual PC 6.x. I guess if I decide to try VersaMail, I could see if I could install that way. I was able to get mail to recieve, but not send. After quickly looking at the unit, I determined it was becasue she was sending over verizon's network, so our home ISPs SMTP Server setting wasn't working. Solution... I needed a SMTP server from Verizon. Called Verizon support... first mistake, my wife tells the lady she's running this on a Mac. Tech tells her this isn't supported on a Mac. (Verizon Doc says otherwise). She tried to explain that her problem was irrelevant to whateer operating system it was running on, but tech wasn't getting it... She finally gave me the phone in disgust. I finally determined that not only did the tech not know mac, they didn't know the Treo 650 either... only the 600 (which runs a different version of Versamail with far less features.) After holding the techs hand and leading her through all the settings in Versamail (wait, isn;t that her job??) She finally gives me the SMTP server name I need. Of course... she gave it too me wrong. I had to figure that out for myself. But all in all, i got it working. I guess I may come to you if I get to the point where I need the SMTP server. Is the default email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] Since the, my wife LOVES her Treo650. I'm even impressed with it, although I'm a graffiti guy and the 650 doesn't allow graffiti... just input from the mini-keyboard, which my fat fingers don't like :-) I've almost given up on thumb typing, even though the 650 supposedly has the sensitivity to distinguish between a fully pressed key and an accidentally pressed one. I do better holding the Treo in one hand and typing with the index finger of the other. I also understand that there's a third-party handwriting recognition program that's better than Graffitti (in that it lets you train it rather than requiring you to use a pre-determined method. I'll give the keyboard some more time before I try that out though. It's only been a couple of days. Thanks. I'll reply to you back channel about the Kyocera.

Re: Apple Mail
Yea. I'm having trouble figuring out how my choice to use entourage in going to send thousands flocking to wintel...but whatever.

Entourage is a totally integrated application: mail, calendar, contacts and tons of options on how to use everything to the max. I might add that there is a conduit included to sync Entourage with your PDA. While I still like Apple's Mail App and iCal and Address Book (all work really well). Entourage has them all in one. Addressing the issue of MS no longer supporting Internet Explorerso what! Safari rocks! MS knows that and methinks it's the reason that they aren't moving on with IE. As for Office, nothing compares to it. Certainly not AppleWorks! And I know somebody is going to chime in about 'Open Office' or whatever it's called.it's slow and clumsy. Usually the people who start bashing a high end app suite are the ones who don't have the $$$ to buy itor can't steal it! Are we going to start bashing Photoshop next?

Re: Transfer of saved e-mails/recommended e-mail app?
I use it as well, although its performance is somewhat annoying (we are an exchange site) -- its update methodology with respect to exchange is annoying. But the integration with exhange is undeniably rocking cool. I've never used apple mail, but did the pc to mac conversion about a year ago -- ms office for the mac made this possible (in a windows shop).

I agree Entourage 2004 rocks. The project center is awesome. The calendar, project center, and Notes all work together seamlessly. I won't support Apple mail on my Network.

17 Powerbook failure
Hey guys, I have a 17 Powerbook which isn't working. I only converted over to macs last year, so am short on experience diagnosing the problems. When I try to power up it sounds like the drive starts to spin up and doesn't. The sound is coming from the top left corner -- by the power cord, so I'm not sure if its the drive of the power unit/fan. It immediatly stops and nada after that. I was gonna open back up -- I installed and uninstalled a touch keyboard a while back, but didn't pay enough attention to the layout at the time... Its been a while since the uninstall, so I'm thinking its unrelated but, I'm thinking I probably voided any warranty on it. Any ideas from this list? I will start searching when I get to work -- no spare computer with me to look online today... (just my blackberry ;-) Thanks for anything... -mtr Sent from my GoodLink Wireless Handheld (www.good.com) ** This email message and any files transmitted with it contain confidential information intended only for the person(s) to whom this email message is addressed.
