Re: Synchronizing Treo 650
Harry, I've added my replies to the snippets of your email below... --- Harry Corsover [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 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 The bundled mail application that Verizon puts on the 650 - I couldn't get to work with the Mac at all. It only wanted to sync with a PC. I tried setting it up and fussed with it for about an hour when I finally canned it in favor of Versamail. Nice of Verizon to disable the Treo's ingrained Versamail functionality so they could replace it with their own Mail software that isn't mac compatible and then to remove the Versamail installer from their recompiled CD but say in the manual that you can install it from there... As for the additional email address... no. Versamail basically gives you a way to check your existing mail (or any POP3 mail) from your Treo. (Handy if you travel frequently.) I setup my wifes to recieve her mail from our ISP, (She actually has multiple accounts and Versamail allows her to check all of them.) but leave the messages on the server. That way she can still recieve and check them (respond if necessary) but she still gets a copy of the email in the client of her iBook when she gets home that she can save or print if need be. 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] Didn't think to try installing Versamail from Virtual PC... not sure how that would work... good thought. I know you can't get to the Versamail installer from teh mac side, though... I'd give you the Verizon SMTP if I could remember it off the top of my head, but I can't and my wife isn't here with her Treo. Basically, the user account info you need to setup the SMTP address is your text messaging user ID @ verizon.com. So, yes, by default, your text message ID is your phone number, and I believe that will work. (As the user id, but not the actual SMTP Server name)But if you haven't visited their website and setup a text id account, you may want to. The SMTP address for your account won't work unless it's a valid account and it takes about 24hours for your account to become valid after you've registered... You don't need this now, but if you wanted to add Versamail capability... Remeber though, you can't get email access to your Treo without internet access for your Treo. Of course, my wife has to have it all ;-) And I think for her to have it all added an additional $50 a month to our already incredibly high verizon wireless bill.

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...

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.

Re: Synchronizing Treo 650
How timely. My wife has been pestering me for a Treo for sometime. I wouldn't let her buy the 600 because the 650 has WAY more bang for the buck But Verizon didn't want to start selling teh 650 until recently. Anyway, I bought one... And then the joy of getting it to work with her ibook G4 began. Bear in mind... she's a long time Palm user (as am I) and already had Palm software installed on her machine. However, it wasn't new enough to support the 650. You have to update to the version of Palm software that ships with teh CD. No biggie there. Now, lets get this out of the way first... Palm says Mac is supported with the Treo 650. Verizon says Mac is supported with the Treo 650. Call Verizon support and see if they say the same thing They told me it wasn't. Luckily, I know enough about what I'm doing that I only needed minimal information from teir tech support and was able to guide them to the information i needed... For the most part, everything will be fine with your Treo 650 and the Mac. There are a lot of features though that just popping in the CD and installing won't give you. (Pop the same CD into a PC and you'll get all kind of options.) The main piece we had trouble with was VersaMail. 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.
