the thing is this:

1. I have a Palm m500 and a t68i. I can connect my palm with my mobile and get to the internet. I downloaded ICQ (from their website) for palm, and it works very very nice.

I want to use my iChat-name, i.e. AOL. The version, v1.0, that is downloadable from www.aol.com is free, but does not recognise .mac-names at all. On Palm software website one can find AOL v3.0 costs 20 dollars, but it does not say if it works with .Mac-names.

Does anyone know if it does/does not work with .Mac-names from experience or hearsay?

2. from versiontracker you can download an app or what it is and sync Palm mail with Mail.app on OS X. Works fine! But,

I also want to send mail thru my mobile from my palm (and at the same time use it to sync with Mail.app). Does anyone know of any mail-programme for palm that allows one to do that?

And I promise you, t68i is a cool phone, and perhaps I should buy bluetooth to it, surfing and chatting being limitied to IR-range and -sight is not that good.

1) No, only iChat supports the use of .mac names. I don't think any other AIM client does.

2) I don't know of any apps that can sync with Mail.app AND send mail. However, if you're using an IMAP e-mail account then you don't have to sync with Mail.app since all your mail stays on a server. Consequently, you can use any Palm mail program (and there are MANY OF THEM) that supports IMAP to send mail. My favorite is Eudora, even though it has some bugs, because it's free and functional. You could also wait and see if Palm builds Mail.app synchronization into VersaMail, which could happen... Though I'm not sure if VersaMail runs on non-Palm OS 5 devices.
