Freehand drawing you enter on your Palm-size PC are saved on your desktop computer as metafiles (pictures) and added to Outlook. Freehand drawings are not added to Schedule+.

Inbox

The Inbox and Outbox folders of your desktop computer or e-mail saved with Outlook are synchronized with the Inbox and Outbox folders of your Palm-size PC. If for some reason you cannot send or receive e-mail directly from you Palm-size PC, you can synchronize e-mail messages and use your desktop computer to send and receive. Under initial default settings, only the first 50 lines of each new message are received by your Palm-size PC, without any attachments.

Synchronization transfers messages in your Palm-size PC Outbox folder to your desktop computer, which sends the messages.

For more information about Palm-size PC e-mail operations, see Chapter 4 of this manual.

Files

Voice Recorder, Note Taker file, and other files you create are stored on your Palm-size PC in a folder named My Documents. You can view these files from your desktop computer by double-clicking the icon for your Palm-size PC in the Mobile Devices window.

If file synchronization is enabled (“Changing ActiveSync Options Settings” page 85), Palm-size PC files are automatically synchronized with files in the folder named <Palm- size PC> My Documents on your desktop computer. The text <Palm-size PC> in the actual folder name will be the same as your Palm-size PC name. The name of a folder for a Palm-size PC named “mypc” for example, would be mypc My Documents. The location of this folder depends on your desktop computer’s operating system.
