VersaMail 3.1 Update for Verizon Wireless Treo 650


Posted October 17, 2006


What is the VersaMail 3.1 Update for Verizon Wireless Treo 650?

VersaMail is included on your software CD as an optional installation. This update is for Treo 650 Verizon Wireless models sold before August 2005.

If you purchased your Treo 650 before this date, you can benefit by downloading the new version 3.1 of VersaMail. The functionality is the same as the previous version, but the application has been optimized for the Treo 650 smartphone.

We highly recommend that you download this version of VersaMail if you use the original 3.0c version shipped with your Treo 650.


Do I need this update?

If you are currently using VersaMail 3.0c (the version provided before August 2005), you should install the version 3.1 update.

Here's how to tell:

  1. Turn on your Treo's screen by pressing Power/End .
  2. Press Home .
  3. Find the VersaMail application and select it.
  4. In VersaMail, press Menu .
  5. From the Options menu, select About VersaMail.
  6. You should see the version number for your copy of VersaMail underneath the palmOne logo.
    1. VersaMail® 3.0c: Yes, you need this update.
    2. VersaMail® 3.1: No, you do not need this update.
