Resolving synchronization conflicts

If the same item (for example, an appointment or a task) has been modified on both the desktop PC and on the HP Jornada, ActiveSync will indicate that a Synchronization conflict has occurred. When the Resolve Conflicts dialog box appears, you can either resolve the conflict by selecting one of the items to replace or you can ignore the conflict, leaving the data on both computers unchanged.

You can resolve each conflict manually, at the time of synchronization, or you can resolve conflicts automatically by setting a default option for conflict resolution.

To set a default option for conflict resolution

1.Open the Microsoft ActiveSync window.

2.On the Tools menu, click Options.

3.Click on the Rules tab of the Options dialog box.

4.Under Conflict Resolution, select the option you prefer to resolve conflicts.

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 synchronizing, 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.
