Mail

Congratulations on your purchase of the PalmPilot™

Professional connected organizer. This handbook

describes how to use the additional applications that

come with the PalmPilot Professional organizer

package: Mail and PalmPilot TCP/IP. For

information on how to use other PalmPilot

companion applications and HotSync™ software, refer

to the PalmPilot Handbook.

About Mail

The Mail application enables you to synchronize your desktop

e-mail system so you can quickly and easily manage your e-mail

while away from your desk. The key to PalmPilot Mail is that it

truly synchronizes the mail on your desktop e-mail system with the

mail on your PalmPilot organizer. For example, messages deleted

from your PalmPilot Mail will be deleted from your desktop e-mail

system after you perform your next HotSync operation — so you

never have to delete messages twice. Similarly, if you read a

message on PalmPilot organizer and leave it in your inbox, after

the next HotSync operation it will be marked read on your desktop

system.

With Mail, you can:

■Use your PalmPilot organizer to send and/or retrieve e-mail

messages from your desktop e-mail application.

■View, delete, file, and/or reply to incoming mail.

■Create outgoing messages. Your PalmPilot organizer also

enables you to create drafts of messages that can be

completed at a later time.
