• System Requirements
• Site License Upgrades
• Site License Registration
• Installing the Application - Windows
• Installing the Application - Mac OS X
• E-mail Configuration

System Requirements

Palm OS version 5 or greater is required to use SnapperMail with University e-mail. Earlier versions of Palm OS do not support TLS (SSL), which is required to access University e-mail. A network connection to the device is required, for example, University Wireless; cellular customers (e.g., Treo 600/650 smartphone users) would need to purchase a data plan through their provider.

Site License Upgrades

If you currently use the trial version of SnapperMail, or have purchased an individual license, and wish to move to the University's site license, you will need to replace the SnapperMail application on your device with the site license version. The standard installation instructions below may be used to replace the older application file without any loss of settings or mail on the device. For more information on University licensing of SnapperMail, see http://www.umn.edu/adcs/site/.

Site License Registration

To register your copy of SnapperMail using the University's site license:

1. Launch the SnapperMail application from the device.
2. Tap the Register button.
   
   
   
   
3. Enter the site license code provided.
4. The Enter Site ID field appears after correctly entering the license code. Enter University of Minnesota for the site ID (not case-sensitive).
   
   
   
   
5. Tap OK. A succesful registration will be confirmed.
   
   
   
   

Installing the Application - Windows

1. Open the Palm Quick Install application. This is typically found on the desktop or under Start->Programs in a folder named Palm, Palm Desktop or palmOne.

6. Synchronize your device. An application named Snapper should now appear on the device. If it does not, verify that you are viewing all applications on the device.

Installing the Application - Mac OS X

To copy yourself on all messages you send, tap More Rules and enter your e-mail address under Bcc a copy of outgoing mail to:. You may also adjust your preferences for deletion of mail on the server based on your SnapperMail.
