I've seen a post on here referring to the ability to check AOL mail on
the palm (likely through an external ISP---which is fine). I, myself
wouldn't bother with AOL...but my boss still uses it as a crutch...and
well since there are three of us in the office with Palms and the boss
and his wife use the palm OS (Handsprings), I am wondering how I can
brown my nose a bit and get him/her the access to the thing.

So if someone would like to help me advance my career---please post how
I get access to these...I checked AOL to no avail. And I do use the AIM
prog on my PC...it would be great to have it on the palm as well. Or
perhaps even ICQ. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Hi Randy,

Not sure about aol mail.

AIM for the palm is available by logging into aol,
selecting "Palm beta", and hitting the go button. You end up
submitting a requst that indicates a wait of up to 3 days. My
response was within one hour.

Hope this helps the nose :-)

Cheers,

Rick

You can use a Palm modem and AOL Palm software to dial-in to leave and retrieve
email. AOL email is behind a firewall so you cannot access it from a secondary
ISP. I do use the AOL Palm software and it works very well, however, no
attachments and a few other restrictions.

Hi! I use AOL on my Palm V with no problems at all. Initially, you have to
start with just AOLMAIL, but after you get there and read some of the
newsgroups you will find that you can submit an application to apply as a
'beta-tester' for AOL 2.0 for Palm, which includes Instant Messaging! Works
Great! Just no web browser yet. How do you get all of this? Go to AOL
keyword: Anywhere

Good Luck, and if you get a raise, I expect commission! LOL! :-)
