Pylon consists of software for your desktop computer and for your mobile device.

Pylon on your desktop computer

On your desktop, either Pylon Conduit or Pylon Pro (depending on which product you purchased) is installed as a configuration database that you access from within Lotus Notes. From within the Pylon Configuration Database, you can control which Lotus Notes databases you sync with, how the information is displayed and organized on your device, and which specific information within each database is synchronized. For example, if you want to sync only the unread mail in your Inbox, you indicate this preference in the configuration database.

Pylon Conduit on your mobile device

On your device, Pylon Conduit provides you with access to your Lotus Notes PIM content, using the native Pocket PC or Palm applications that you are already familiar with, such as Calendar, Contacts, and Inbox.
