Setting Up Email on Your Palm Treo 700wx Smartphone

Getting started

Your Palm® Treo™ 700wx smartphone comes with four options for sending and receiving email. Just like on your computer, you can choose one of the email applications to help you manage your email. (Additional fees may apply for email services.) This guide shows you the various email options and walks you through setting them up, so that you can use your smartphone to get the most out of your current email accounts.

This guide explains how to determine which email application is right for each of your existing email accounts. If you like, you can set up more than one application to work with separate email accounts. NOTE Your wireless service provider may provide additional email options. Check with your provider for information.

Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync®
Enables you to wirelessly synchronize your email and other information directly with the information stored on a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003.

Tips for entering information on the Q

Before you follow the instructions in this guide, please take a few minutes to understand the Q keypad and the various text entry methods. A full layout of the Q keypad is in Appendix B.

Here are a few tips in following instructions:

  • LSK refers to Left Soft Key
  • RSK refers to Right Soft Key
  • Shortcut keys are available for some menu choices.
    E.g. in the menu shown pressing the letter p will invoke the “Options” menu
    - Pressing R will invoke Reply
    - Pressing F will invoke Folders
    - Pressing S will invoke Switch Accounts
    For a full layout of the Q keypad please see Appendix B.

Hotmail Configuration Guide

Turn off automatic deletion of messages

By default, Hotmail will delete messages it thinks might be unsolicited email (spam). Whenever your professors send out messages to the entire class, Hotmail thinks this is junk and deletes it. This should be turned off. Start by clicking on the options link to the right of the tabs.

The default setting is labeled “bvious junk mail caught”. This setting will actually delete messages sent by your professors immediately. You want to choose “Enhanced.” This setting gives you the option below to not delete mail immediately, but rather to deliver messages temporarily to the junk mail folder. With these settings, you’ll still need to check your junk mail folder for emails from your professors.

Semantic Web Technologies

The Technologies

The third common use of the term Semantic Web is to identify a set of technologies, tools and standards which form the basic building blocks of a system that could support the vision of a Web imbued with meaning. The Semantic Web has been developing a layered architecture, which is often represented using a diagram first proposed by Tim Berners-Lee, with many variations since. Figure 1 gives a typical representation of this diagram.

  • While necessarily a simplification which has to be used with some caution, it nevertheless gives a reasonable conceptualisation of the various components of the Semantic Web. We describe briefly these layers.
  • Unicode and URI: Unicode, the standard for computer character representation, and URIs, the standard for identifying and locating resources (such as pages on the Web), provide a baseline for representing characters used in most of the languages in the world, and for identifying resources.

Information Retrieval and the Semantic Web

The Semantic Web has lived its infancy as a clearly delineated body of Web documents. That is, by and large researchers working on aspects of the Semantic Web knew where the appropriate ontologies resided and tracked them using explicit URLs. When the desired Semantic Web document was not at hand, one was more likely to use a telephone to find it than a search engine. This closed world assumption was natural when a handful of researchers were developing DAML 0.5 ontologies, but is untenable if the Semantic Web is to live up to its name. Yet simple support for search over Semantic Web documents, while valuable, represents only a small piece of the benefits that will accrue if search and inference are considered together. We believe that Semantic Web inference can improve traditional text search, and that text search can be used to facilitate or augment Semantic Web inference. Several difficulties, listed below, stand in the way of this vision.

Where are the Semantics in the Semantic Web?

Introduction
The current evolution of the Web can be characterized from various perspectives [Jasper & Uschold 2001]:

Locating Resources: The way people find things on the Web is evolving from simple free text and keyword search to more sophisticated semantic techniques both for search and navigation.

Users: Web resources are evolving from being primarily intended for human consumption to being intended for use both by humans and machines .

Web Tasks and Services: The Web is evolving from being primarily a place to find things to being a place to do things as well [Smith 2001].

All of these new capabilities for the Web depend in a fundamental way on the idea of semantics. This gives rise to a fourth perspective along which the Web evolution may be viewed:

  • Semantics—The Web is evolving from containing information resources that have little or no explicit semantics to having a rich semantic infrastructure.
