Missing Sync v4 lets you set up your Mac so that it shares your Internet
connection with your Palm. In that mode (you have to switch MS on your Mac
between Internet sharing mode and Hotsyncing mode), all you need is a Mail
app on your Palm that talks directly to your mail systems. Palm's mail app
does this, and others probably do too. You don't need any conduits on your
Mac to use these kinds of Palm mail apps.

Having said that, I don't find getting and sending mail from a Palm to be a
truly rewarding experience. It works, but I get and send far too much mail
for it to be practical.

Cheers,
