Configuring Microsoft Outlook
You can synchronize Microsoft Outlook 97/98/2000/XP with an e-mail account in
the VersaMail application, but you must set Microsoft Outlook as the default mail
handler. You must check your username and password.

To configure Microsoft Outlook:

1. In the Control Panel, click Internet Options.
NOTE For Windows XP, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click
Internet Options.
2. Click the Programs tab.
3. Select Microsoft Outlook as the default e-mail program.
4. Click OK.
NOTE Make sure your username and password are set up correctly within Microsoft
Outlook.
Configuring Microsoft Outlook Express
You can synchronize an e-mail account in the VersaMail application with Microsoft
Outlook Express 5.5 or 6.0, but you must set Outlook Express as the default mail
handler.
NOTE Make sure your username and password are set up correctly within Outlook
Express.

To configure Outlook Express:

1. In the Control Panel, click Internet Options.
NOTE For Windows XP, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click
Internet Options.
2. Click the Programs tab.
Mail filters Any mail filters you have configured for a given e-mail account
on your handheld apply also during the synchronization
process. For example, if you have set filters to accept only e-mail
containing the subject words “Current Software Project,” only
those same messages are synchronized between your desktop
and your handheld. Be sure to turn mail filters off if you want
to synchronize all messages between your desktop and your
handheld. See “Turning filters on and off” in Chapter 6 for
details.
