40 HP Jornada 600 Series User’s Guide

Synchronizing e-mail messages

You can synchronize your HP Jornada Inbox with the e-mail program (Microsoft Outlook or Exchange) on your desktop PC partner. By synchro- nizing, you can take important messages with you when you travel, or you can use your desktop PC to send messages that you create on your

HP Jornada.

When you synchronize:

•Messages are copied from the Inbox folder on your desktop computer to the Inbox folder on your HP Jornada (by default, only the messages received in the past 3 days are synchronized, and no attachments are copied).

•Messages on the two computers are linked. So, for instance, if you delete a message on your HP Jornada, it will also be deleted on your desktop PC the next time you synchronize.

•Messages in the Outbox folder on your HP Jornada are transferred to the Outbox on your desktop PC and then sent from that program.

Synchronizing from a remote location

The ActiveSync program on your HP Jornada enables you to synchronize files, e-mail messages, and Pocket Outlook data with your desktop PC, even when you are away from the office. You can do this by remote dial-up connection or LAN connection to your desktop PC. You can also connect to a computer not on a network (such as your home computer) and synchronize using a modem.

Before you can synchronize remotely, the desktop PC or network server must be configured for Remote Access Services (Windows NT) or Dial-Up Networking (Windows 95 or later), and you must create a connection on your HP Jornada by using either the HP Jornada dialup application or the Remote Networking program. For information about setting up connections with HP dialup, see the Setting up a remote connection to your network section in chapter 6. For Remote Networking information, see the Accessing a computer not on a network section in this chapter. After you have set up for either type of connection, you can synchronize data. See the To start remote synchronization procedure later in this chapter.
