223417	2004-03-18 01:54:00	Greetings, Im helping a friend who has come over from Canada setup his Palm (Tungsten|W). He has a few different email accounts, one at hotmail, one at yahoo, and one with some 3rd party Email Provider (Perhaps his business) which he has Pop access to. Basically, We're trying to get the Palm to check emails one way or another. We'd prefer to use via the USB Cradle, but there's a SIM card in the Palm should we need to use it wirelessly. How do we go about this? The documentation online details nothing about using a PC's internet connection but I dont see why you shouldnt be able to use it to check email on the Palm? Many thanks Chill.	Chilling_Silence (9)

I assume he "hot syncs" at the home / office and that is more than likley what he will have to do at your place.	ugh1 (4204)

If so, you could set it (the Palm) up for a local ISP (yours perhaps?) and access the web that way, then see if you can POP3 over the connection. Relaying may be a problem.	godfather (25)
